Mutual funds have almost become synonymous with the word SIP. SIP refers to a systematic investment plan that allows you to invest smaller quantities of money every month in a mutual fund scheme of your choice. This method enables systematic growth over time and can be ideal for those who do not have lump sum funds at their disposal for investment. However, if you do not want to take the SIP route and prefer to invest your money in a lump sum, you can check out the following mutual fund options:
- Canara Robeco Bluechip Equity Fund Growth: This is a large-cap equity mutual fund that can be suitable for a lump sum investment. The mutual fund has a net asset value (NAV) of Rs. 41.61. The fund’s net assets are valued at Rs. 5,208 crore. The fund has delivered returns of 24.5%, 21%, and 19.2% in the last one year, three years, and five years, respectively. This is a suitable choice for investors with a high-risk appetite.
