We considered the CAGR of all equity schemes for a period of five years. We looked at equity scheme categories, including large cap, large & mid cap, mid cap, small cap, multi cap, flexi cap, focused funds, and ELSS funds. We considered regular plans and the growth option for the study.
Small Savings Scheme investors must submit Aadhaar by Sept 30, 2023, to avoid account freezing.

The ELSS category offered an average return of 23.67% in the three-year horizon. The ELSS schemes are benchmarked against NIFTY 500 - TRI, S&P BSE 100 - TRI, and S&P BSE 500 - TRI. These benchmarks offered around 23.14 - 24.88% returns in the same time period. The toppers in the category offered more than 30%.
