When you invest in the stock market, you're constantly taking a chance. The market fluctuates, and your assets may move from being in the green to being in the red and back again. While investing in mutual funds such as Index fund are the ultimate example of passive investing. Since the index fund's portfolio mix is limited to index constituents, it becomes much simpler and more predictable. Because it is a passive fund, the index fund simply tracks the index. Here we have covered one such fund and given the details, returns, and portfolio of the fund. This fund has offered the highest SIP return in 2 years.
