Here, we list out the returns posted by equity mutual funds across market capitalisations i.e., large cap, mid cap and small caps.

On the other hand, large cap funds have given muted returns but are more stable.

Meanwhile, it is important to note that the good historical performance of a mutual fund is no guarantee of its performance in the future. In other words, a scheme that has performed exceptionally well in the past may, or may not, continue to perform equally well in the future.
