Choosing a mutual fund requires careful planning and objective analysis of data including past returns. Here we examine the past returns of a mutual fund scheme i.e., Quant ELSS Tax Saver Growth fund which has arguably given good returns in the past 25 years of its existence.
Sample this: If an investor had invested ₹10,000 every month for one year via SIP (systematic investment plan) into this mutual fund, the total investment would have reduced to ₹1.07 lakh by investing a total of ₹1.20 lakh. This is because the stock market has been on a decline for the past six months.
However, if you had invested ₹10,000 via SIP for a period of three years, the investment would have swelled to ₹4.24 lakh by investing a total of ₹3.60 lakh, thus indicating a growth of 11.10 percent.
In a span of five years, this investment would have grown to ₹10 lakh by investing ₹6 lakh, indicating a return of 20.77 percent. If the investment were made for a straight seven years, the corpus would have grown to ₹18.76 lakh by investing only ₹8.4 lakh, thus reflecting a return of 22.62 percent.

Likewise, if someone were consistent in investing since the launch of the scheme in April 2000, the total corpus would have grown to a whopping ₹3.18 crore by investing a total of ₹14.70 lakh.
