Mutual Fund Calculator: How long will it take to multiply your money 2, 5 or 10 times at 15% CAGR?

The biggest advantage of investing in mutual funds is that if you choose the ‘right fund’ and stick with it for the long term, your money can grow very fast. However, finding this ‘right fund’ can be a challenging task. That’s why it’s wise to do some research on your own or seek guidance from a qualified financial advisor who can help you find the one capable of generating decent long-term returns.

In the mutual fund space, a ‘decent return’ can be subjective. But for this story, we are assuming a benchmark return of 15% CAGR.

Seasoned investors would agree that a 15% return is quite achievable over the long term, provided one is disciplined and sticks to the fundamentals of mutual fund investing. To show how such returns are possible, here are some real examples from two prominent mutual fund categories: large-cap funds and flexi-cap funds.

We have chosen these two categories, as large-cap funds tend to earn investors’ trust as they invest in well-established, blue-chip companies. Flexi-cap funds, on the other hand, allocate assets dynamically across market capitalisations based on prevailing market conditions. These two categories offer valuable insights into investor sentiment and market trends.

So, here are some funds (direct plan) from these two categories that have delivered returns exceeding 15% over the last 10 years.
