Buy These 3 Mid-Cap Growth Mutual Funds for Solid Returns

Read MoreHide Full Article

For high returns, investors can choose mid-cap funds that bear lesser risk than small caps. Mid-cap funds are unfazed by broader market gyrations, making them ideal bets amid the current erratic macroeconomic conditions.

Also, when capital appreciation takes precedence over dividend payouts over the long term, growth funds should be natural choices for investors. These funds focus on realizing an appreciable amount of capital growth by investing in stocks of firms whose value is projected to rise over the long term.

However, a relatively higher tolerance to risk and the willingness to park funds for the longer term are necessary while investing in these securities. This is because these may experience relatively more fluctuations than the other fund classes.
