Top 3 Index Funds vs Top 3 Contra Funds With Highest SIP Returns in 10 Years: Investing in index funds is considered the easiest way to start mutual fund investment. The reason is index funds follow an index. The stocks in the fund will keep changing, but only the top stocks will remain in the index. The second thing is that they are passive funds, where the manager just needs to track the index. So, index funds have a low expense ratio. Since index funds invest in equity, they are vulnerable during market fluctuations, but they are considered good for long-term investment.

The fund manager has a contrarian view of the market, where they invest in stocks that are available at a low value. The low value of the stock can be due to many factors. The thought behind such stocks is that it will recover once the factors behind its low value improve. The category is risky since the stock picking is based on future analysis. But contra mutual funds have given consistent returns in the long run.
