Rs 10 Lakh To Rs 18 Crore In 30 Years: This MF Doubled Money Every 7 Years
A new analysis by FundsIndia shows that a lumpsum investment in the HDFC Flexi Cap Fund has historically multiplied more than 2 times over a 7-year period.
Multibagger Mutual Fund: Mutual fund is a good financial instrument that allows an investor to invest a particular sum without using too much brain. MF comes in various sizes and shapes, catering to different customers. The sole decision lies with investors on which mutual fund they choose.
One such mutual fund HDFC Flexi Cap Fund has become a gold mine for investors. Flexi-cap funds are a type of open-ended equity mutual fund that offers fund managers the flexibility to invest across all market capitalizations – large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks – without any restrictions.
A new analysis by FundsIndia shows that a lumpsum investment in the HDFC Flexi Cap Fund has historically multiplied more than 2 times over a 7-year period, making it one of the most consistent long-term performers in the Indian mutual fund space. The fund was launched in 1995.
Even the average returns are impressive. The fund has, on average, doubled money in 7 years. Over 20 years, average returns have ranged around 25x to 45x, turning Rs 10 lakh into Rs 2.5 to Rs 4.5 crore.
However, not all periods have delivered equally. Investments made just before market crashes, like in 2008, saw much lower short-term returns. But holding for 10 years or more has historically reduced that risk significantly.
How Much A Lumpsum Investment Of Rs 5 Lakh and Rs 10 Lakh Would Be In 10, 20, and 30 Years?
If someone had invested Rs 5 lakh in this fund and stayed invested for 10 years, their investment could have grown up to Rs 48 lakh, based on historical maximum returns. With a 20-year holding, that same Rs 5 lakh would have grown to nearly Rs 2.5 crore, and over 30 years, it could have touched an astonishing Rs 9.3 crore.
Now imagine investing Rs 10 lakh instead. Over 10 years, the amount could have become Rs 96 lakh. If held for 20 years, the investment would be worth more than Rs 5 crore, and over 30 years, it could have multiplied to over Rs 18 crore.

US regulators blame Indian authorities for failure to serve summons to Gautam Adani
A legal battle in the Eastern District of New York involving Indian billionaire Gautam Adani is facing persistent delays, with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) telling a federal court that Indian authorities have yet to serve formal summons to the Adani Group chairman and his associates. The SEC's latest status report, filed on August 11, claims there are procedural hurdles in serving the summons, which must be done in compliance with the Hague Service civil lawsuit, originally filed last year, accuses Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and other related individuals of securities law violations and misleading representations linked to Adani Group activities. The charges stem from an alleged scheme to pay roughly $265 million in bribes to Indian government officials to secure lucrative solar power contracts, a fact that prosecutors say was concealed from US investors. The Adani Group has consistently denied these allegations, dismissing them as "baseless." The status report, reviewed by India Today, shows that while the SEC has been actively attempting to advance the federal lawsuit -- stemming from allegations of securities law violations and misleading representations tied to Adani Group activities -- progress has stalled due to procedural bottlenecks involving cross-border legal to a previous report from July, the SEC had informed the New York court that nearly four months after requesting assistance from India's Ministry of Law and Justice in February, the summons remained unserved. The Law Ministry had reportedly forwarded the request to a court in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, but the SEC had received no confirmation of the summons being its most recent filing, the SEC confirmed it has continued to communicate with the Indian Law Ministry and is pursuing service under the Hague Convention. However, it stated that as of August 11, Indian authorities "have not yet effected service" despite ongoing correspondence. The SEC also noted that it had issued "Notices of Lawsuit and Requests for Waiver of Service of Summons" directly to Adani's legal counsel in India as an additional legal process is a direct result of an indictment unsealed in a New York court on November 22, 2024, which charged Adani and others with bribery and fraud. The indictment detailed allegations of a bribery scheme spanning from 2020 to 2024 to secure solar power contracts from Indian state electricity distribution companies. The US has jurisdiction in the matter because it alleges the Adani Group misled American banks and investors while raising billions for the solar energy SEC's civil action is separate from the criminal prosecution but stems from the same core allegations.- EndsMust Watch
