4 SIPs That Gave Up to 25% Returns In 1-year

Systematic Investments Plans (SIPs) are becoming increasingly popular in India, especially among the younger generation. With the markets extremely volatile over the last 1-year due to covid-19, it makes sense to park money through SIPs. Here are 4 funds that have given exceptianal returns by way of SIPs up to 25 per cent in the last 1-year.
