That is an excellent performance. The only catch is the fund is only seven years old. The law of averages is likley to strike soon.

Mirae Asset Tax Saver Fund is one of the rare funds to do well during both market up and downturns. Most funds only do well during market downturns. See: Strange, but true! How mutual funds beat the index!
Mirae Asset Tax Saver Fund is an excellent performer. Existing investors can continue with the fund, and new investors can certainly consider it (if they need ELSS funds per their asset allocation). However, it must be understood that the fund’s AUM is swelling up (the AUM was only 1100+ Crores in Nov 2018), and the history of consistent performance is short. Most funds tend to underperform due to the weight of their own popularity. So both new and old investors should not expect the fund’s past performance to repeat in future.
