Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) was awash with more red, replicating the disappointing end to the week on Wall Street Friday night. At the end of trade, the benchmark index was 0.51% worse for wear at 7,139.5 points.

Tech shares took another backward step as the sector erased 1.5% today. Though, it wasn't alone in its uninspiring performance, with miners and utilities also wearing a deep shade of red on Monday. Glimmers of green still managed to poke through in the opening session for the week. Real estate, consumer staples, and communication services provided some positivity for investors.

However, the question is: which shares delivered the biggest returns to investors on the ASX today? Here are the top ten stocks that came through for investors:
