Top 5 SBI mutual funds with up to 30% annualised returns in 3 years

Mutual fund investors have seen massive erosion in their portfolio valuations over the last 6 months amid one of the longest corrections in the Indian equity market. So amidst all this, if you are thinking of investing, it is very important to focus on mid- to long-term returns also while choosing a fund because short-term yields might not give a clear picture. Here we have selected the top 5 funds of SBI Mutual Fund, one of the leading fund houses with a total assets under management (AUM) of Rs 10.75 lakh crore (as of 28 February, 2028). All these SBI funds have given more than 20% annualised returns over 3 years.

Why is a 3-year return important?

A 3-year period is a good benchmark to evaluate mutual funds. 1-year returns can be misleading at times, as global and domestic events can have a profound impact on the market in a particular period. For example, all mutual fund categories have been struggling in the last 6 months, as major stock indices have fallen by 10% to 25%. Due to this decline, the 1-year returns of many funds are looking poor. But funds that are giving a return of 20% or more in 3 years are considered to be really strong and sustainable funds.
