We crunched the numbers and found five that delivered outstanding 10-year SIP returns. Find out which fund topped the list, what stocks they hold and why they’re a perfect fit for first-time investors.

Aggressive hybrid funds don’t always steal the spotlight. They don’t get as much attention as their cousins—balanced advantage or multi-asset funds. But for investors seeking steady, low-maintenance wealth creation, they often deliver quietly and effectively.

Aggressive hybrid funds invest 65–80 per cent in equities and the rest in debt instruments, combining equity-like growth potential with a debt cushion. Think of them as a built-in combo of a flexi-cap fund and a short-duration fund, with the added bonus of automatic rebalancing.

And over time, especially when invested through SIPs, they’ve shown they can go toe-to-toe with even pure equity funds. We dug into the data and found five aggressive hybrid funds that delivered strong 10-year SIP returns, with the best clocking in at over 19 per cent.
