2 Mid Cap Funds For SIP In 2021 Based On 1 Year Returns of Up To 99.88%

Mid cap funds have historically outscored large cap and flexi cap funds, indicating that they have the potential to triumph in the long run. According to SEBI, these funds invest in mid-cap firms with market capitalizations ranging from 100 to 250. Mid-cap equities will continue to profit from the growing economic trend, as fund managers acquire stocks of mid-sized firms with the potential to become large cap at the same time giving higher returns enough to cover your investment objective of more than 5 years. According to the statistics of AMFI, among Equity Oriented Schemes, Mid Cap funds saw a healthy inflow of Rs 1,350.97 Cr, with Net Assets Under Management of Rs 1,53,023.64 Cr, Average Net Assets Under Management of Rs 1,51,184.21 Cr, and 76,84,684 portfolios as of September 30th, 2021.

The data suggests the possible future performance, and investing in these funds might be advantageous if you wish to earn better returns than large cap funds while minimising your risk against small cap funds in the current market scenario as the large cap funds have only achieved a positive net inflow of Rs 13.90 Cr and small cap funds have witnessed a negative outflow of Rs -248.73 Cr in the previous month.
