A decade-long comparison of mutual fund strategies reveals aggressive hybrid funds slightly outperformed multi-asset funds in average 10-year returns (12.14% CAGR vs 11.10% CAGR). Aggressive hybrid funds, with higher equity exposure, offer greater growth potential but also higher volatility. Multi-asset funds spread investments across equity, debt, and gold for a more balanced risk profile and stable returns. Top performers exist in both categories, emphasizing careful fund selection based on investor risk tolerance.
