5 low cost mutual fund schemes with highest 3-year returns. Check details (2024)

Low-cost funds are those which generate better returns and have a low expense ratio vis-a-vis their category. Cost in a mutual fund is the total expense ratio which an investor has to bear for investing in various mutual fund schemes. Investors willing to put money in mutual funds should consider these two essential criteria - low expense ratio and high returns.

According to Amfi (Association of Mutual Funds in India) data published in February, there are currently 435 active equity mutual fund schemes across 11 categories. An analysis of Ace Equities' growth funds’ data shows that 213 schemes have completed three years or more while 58 schemes have not yet completed three years. ETMarkets brings five funds with the highest returns in the last three years along with their expense ratios.

The components of the expense ratio include the fund manager's fee, marketing and distribution expenses, legal & audit costs along with other operating costs. An expense ratio also depends upon the type of equity mutual fund scheme i.e. direct or growth plans. The former has a lower expense ratio and may vary from fund to fund and depend upon the activity in a particular fund. A more aggressively-managed fund could have a higher expense ratio.
