Best Equity ETF Mutual Funds
Exchange Traded Funds trade on the exchange like a share and typically track an index. They generally carry the lowest costs available, but you need a demat account and you trade at market price rather than at end-of-day NAV.
We currently track 246 direct-plan Equity ETF schemes from 20 fund houses with a median 5-year CAGR of 6.8%. Every figure below is calculated from official daily NAV history and refreshed each day. Use the column headers to re-rank the table by any period — the best 1-year performer is often not the best over 5 or 10 years, which is exactly why we default to the longer horizon.

Equity ETF funds — frequently asked questions
Which Equity ETF fund has the highest 5-year CAGR?
Nippon India ETF Nifty PSU Bank BeES - Direct Plan currently leads the Equity ETF category with a 5-year CAGR of 25.4%. Past returns describe what already happened and do not predict future performance — treat the ranking as a starting point for research, not a recommendation.
What is a good 5-year return for a Equity ETF fund?
Across the 246 Equity ETF schemes we track, the median 5-year CAGR is 6.8%. Comparing a fund against that median, rather than against the category's single best performer, is a more realistic benchmark.
How is CAGR calculated on this page?
CAGR is the compound annual growth rate between the NAV on the horizon start date and the latest NAV, using growth-plan NAVs published by the AMCs. Where a scheme's NAV history has a gap or a re-denomination, we adjust for it rather than report a distorted figure. Expense ratios are already reflected in NAV; exit loads and taxes are not.
Why does this list only show direct plans?
Direct plans have no distributor commission, so their expense ratio is lower and their NAV growth is higher than the regular plan of the same scheme. Showing both would list every fund twice, so we rank direct plans only.
