Should you invest?

Should you invest?

Large-cap mutual funds are mostly preferred for long-term investors. Let's say investors who have a personal finance goal of 5 years or more, large cap mutual funds are the best to bet. By taking this into consideration, large cap mutual funds have given decent returns if we look at the past returns. According to Value Research, large cap mutual funds have given an average of 16.21% SIP returns over the last 5-years.

The reason why we have taken SIP returns as an example for our readers is that they can watch their investment grow big by making a small amount of contribution. It is suggested that you invest in large cap funds for at least 5 years to get the most out of them. Large cap funds have a relatively high-risk profile, which essentially means that aggressive investors seeking long-term gains may consider investing in them. If you have a low to moderate risk tolerance, you may diversify your portfolio by investing in the top-performing debt funds and equity mutual funds. However, investing in equity mutual funds for the long term is recommended, as these funds may be risky in the short term.
