These mutual funds from LIC have been steady performers since the last 5 years

It has been a long standing argument: Mutual fund vs Incomesurance. We all are well aware that incomesurance i.e. insurance products mixed with investment quotient have not generated great returns till date.

However, we somehow keep investing in these and back off from picking better yielding ones such as mutual funds.

Top mutual funds have been able to generate at least 15 per cent CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) in the past decade. This achievement is great despite the many ups and downs of global economy as a whole in this period.

The primary reason for not investing in products such as mutual funds has been trust. But if you trust brands like LIC then here are top 5 mutual funds from LIC along with their performance.
