The article compares how five mutual funds performed for people investing a fixed amount each month over ten years.
It assumes an investor put ₹10,000 into a fund every month.
That would add up to ₹12 lakh invested.
Quant Small Cap Fund ranked first, with an estimated value of ₹46.09 lakh by 5 October 2026.
The other four funds had estimated values between ₹35.58 lakh and ₹37.52 lakh.
Most of the funds were equity funds, while one invested across multiple asset types.
These figures describe past performance and do not guarantee future results.
The article says people should choose funds based on their goals, time frame, and comfort with risk.
Quant Small Cap Fund topped the list with a 25.39% 10-year SIP return.
