A 10-year SIP in mid-cap MFs can deliver alpha returns

Investors should consider a 10-year horizon for mid-cap mutual fund SIPs, as this timeframe offers the highest probability of achieving 10-15% annualised returns. A study revealed mid-cap funds delivered an average of 17.4% over a decade, outperforming large-cap and small-cap funds. Wealth advisors suggest a 40% allocation to mid-caps for moderate risk and alpha generation.
