5 Top Performing Infrastructure Mutual Fund To Invest In 2022
Infrastructure funds are those sector funds that invest in companies that are either directly or indirectly involved in the infrastructure development in India. For instance, an IT sector fund invests only in IT companies, a banking sector fund only in banks, and so on. This one sector-only exposure makes them one of the riskiest mutual funds. Companies that are involved in the industry like metals, energy, estate, power, etc., are a part of the infrastructure mutual fund category.
Who Should Invest in infrastructure mutual funds?
Investors who are keen to invest in this fund and are risk-takers can invest in these funds. However, they are advised to check the performances of the scheme along with their AUM. Also, one should not forget that these funds are sector-specific funds and such funds are high in risk. Thus, an investor who has thorough knowledge about this sector and is experienced in equity Investing should only invest in this fund.
In the previous year, mutual fund schemes investing solely in infrastructure have provided an average return of 51.84 percent. Top performers in the category have achieved returns of up to 106% returns on SIP in 5 year.
Retail mutual fund investors can gain exposure to the infrastructure subject through two methods: thematic funds investing in infrastructure businesses and diversified equity funds.

Mutual fund advisers and fund managers feel that this drive will be good for infrastructure investments.
