4 Best Large Cap Equity Mutual Funds Better Than PPF

|

Investors have certain goals that are generally categorised as short, medium, and long term. Instruments handled over a short period of time, often up to three years, are classified as short-term investments. These are products with a high level of liquidity and, as a result, low market risks. Medium-term investments are those with a three to five-year time horizon, which may include funding for a wedding or children's education, and long-term investments are those with a five-year or more investment horizon. These carry higher market risks and, as a result, generate huge returns.

 

Both Public Provident Fund (PPF) and fixed deposits (FDs) are the most secure bets for a long-term investor with a risk-averse attitude. Large-cap funds, on the other hand, are appropriate for conservative investors. When looking at the average SIP returns of large-cap equity mutual funds over the last ten years, we can discover that they have beaten the historical returns of PPF and FD. So if you are a conservative investor and want to diversify your portfolio, here are the 4 best large cap equity mutual funds for you.

Should you invest?

According to data from Value Research, large-cap equity funds, for example, have generated an average SIP return of 13.63 per cent over the last ten years which is undoubtedly much higher than that of PPF and even bank FDs. The current interest rate on PPF, on the other side, is 7.1 per cent. The Public Provident Fund (PPF) is one of the finest ways to save for old age. It has generally given higher interest rates than bank fixed deposits. Furthermore, the PPF interest rate is unstable, as the central government adjusts it every quarter. In this case, a diversified equity fund can be a good bet for your portfolio. Because the underlying companies are not strongly influenced by market swings, conservative investors may consider investing in the large-cap funds discussed above. As a result, they are less risky than small and midcap funds. Market risk is also included in large cap funds so before making a selection, investors must examine prior returns, investment purpose, expense ratio, exit load and AUM of the fund.
