Indian mid-cap stocks saw robust growth over the past three years as markets emerged from the shadow of a devastating first and second pandemic wave driven by an upbeat economic outlook.

Mid-cap stocks are ranked 101-250 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) based on their market capitalisation as per the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi ).

You can invest in mid-cap stocks through an index or a mutual fund. An index fund invests directly in the top mid-cap stocks, while a mutual fund picks the best-performing stocks from the pool.

So, the aim is to generate high returns by investing in a basket of the best stocks. However, investing in mid-cap stocks is considered risky; hence, they suit high-risk tolerance investors. The following five mutual funds have generated the highest returns with a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) of Rs 1,000.
