Magic of compounding: ₹1 lakh investment in these two mutual funds at launch would have grown to ₹20 lakh
Before investing in a mutual fund scheme, investors tend to compare the annualised returns delivered by it to make a projection of future returns.
Once a mutual fund category is shortlisted, one has to zero in on the schemes within that category.
Thanks to the power of compounding, when an investment is made for a long time, the returns — more often than not — grow multi-fold. For instance, when a scheme grows at a compounded rate of 15 per cent, the investment grows double in a span of five years. Likewise, when the investment continues to grow at the same rate of 15 per cent for a 10-year period, the total investment would swell four times.
Here, we examine two mid-cap mutual fund schemes which have delivered healthy returns consistently for over two decades so that the investment made at the time of launch could have grown by a whopping 20 times during this period.
SBI Magnum MidCap Fund
Years | Returns (%) | ₹one lakh becomes (Rs) |
1 | 41.34% | 1.41 lakh |
3 | 23.28% | 1.87 lakh |
5 | 21.91% | 2.69 lakh |
10 | 19.50 % | 5.93 lakh |
S. Inception | 17.12 % | 20.19 lakh |

SBI Magnum Midcap Fund was launched on March 29, 2005.
As we can see in the table above, an investment of ₹1 lakh made one year ago would have grown to ₹1.41 lakh. In three years, this investment would have grown to ₹1.87 lakh. In a span of five years, the investment of ₹1 lakh would have grown to ₹2.69 lakh, and in 10 years, this sum would have grown to ₹5.93 lakh.
Likewise, if you had invested at the time of the scheme’s launch, the investment would have grown to a whopping ₹20.19 lakh by now.
Quant Mid Cap
Year | Returns (%) | ₹one lakh become (Rs) |
1 | 65.56 | 1.65 lakh |
3 | 35.23 | 2.47 lakh |
5 | 29.37 | 3.62 lakh |
10 | 20.13 | 6.25 lakh |

As we can see in the table above, an investment of ₹1 lakh made a year ago would have grown to ₹1.65 lakh. The same investment made three years ago would have grown to ₹2.47 lakh. And if someone had made this investment five years ago, it would have grown to ₹3.62 lakh. In 10 years, the investment would have grown to ₹6.25 lakh.
