Top Indian Mutual Funds by 3Y CAGR
This page ranks 1,593 direct-plan Indian mutual funds by 3Y compound annual growth rate, calculated from official daily NAV history and refreshed every day. Three years covers at least part of a market cycle. It is long enough to be informative but still short enough that one strong sector run can dominate the result.
Rankings span every asset class — equity, debt, hybrid, commodity and solution-oriented schemes sit in one list — so a debt fund and a small-cap fund can appear side by side despite carrying very different risk. Compare funds within their own category before drawing conclusions from a cross-category ranking.

3Y CAGR rankings — frequently asked questions
What does 3Y CAGR mean?
CAGR is the constant annual rate at which an investment would have had to grow to get from its starting NAV to its current NAV over 3 years. It smooths out the year-to-year path, so two funds with the same CAGR may have had very different journeys.
Is the highest-CAGR fund the best fund to buy?
Not necessarily. A high CAGR may come from taking concentrated sector or credit risk that will not repeat, and past performance is not a reliable predictor of future returns. Read the ranking alongside the fund's category, its risk profile and your own holding period.
How many funds are ranked here?
1,593 direct-plan schemes with a recent NAV and enough history to compute a 3Y figure. Funds without sufficient NAV history for this horizon are excluded rather than shown with an estimated number.
