Large-cap funds don’t usually get hearts racing. They're often seen as the slow, safe corner of the market—steady, but nothing to write home about.
But what if we told you some of them have quietly delivered big over the last decade? We dug into the data and found six large-cap mutual funds that generated serious wealth, delivering over 16 per cent returns through monthly SIPs in the past 10 years.
If you’ve been doubting whether large-cap funds can still create real wealth, these six might just change your mind. Let’s count them down—from the sixth-best performer to the one that topped the charts.
