Equity vs gold vs silver: Which asset class delivered the most returns in H1 FY27? Here's what data shows | Mint
In the first half of FY27, small-cap equities gave the best returns at 23%, ahead of mid-caps at 13% and the Nifty 50 at just 2%. Gold and silver fell 10% and 15%, a full reversal from H1 FY26. If your money sits heavily in gold or silver funds, review your mix calmly rather than reacting to one six-month stretch.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Review your asset allocation with your advisor before moving money around, since one half-year of returns is short and past performance does not promise future results.
