Returns are incidental to the risk assumed by an investor. Taurus MF Equity funds generate higher returns than debt funds and balanced funds. Historically, these funds have known to deliver average returns of around 12% over a period of more than 5 years. However, Taurus MF Equity funds do not guarantee assured returns and the fund performance may vary from one period to another. Owing to higher risk, a focussed fund may carry a higher return potential as compared to a diversified equity funds. Conversely, large-cap funds are known to provide stable returns across market cycles. To boost returns, one may consider adding a few small-cap / mid-cap funds to the overall portfolio for diversification.
