Which are the top-performing mutual funds in the last 10 years

Did you know? Recently, the Modi government completed 10 years since it came to power, and on April 09 the BSE Sensex touched its record high of 75,000 points. It was a 3-fold jump from 25,000 points in 2014.

The SIP contribution has also touched its all-time high of Rs. 19,271 crore in March. This shows the investor's confidence in Mutual funds and commitment to disciplined wealth accumulation through regular investment.

Furthermore, the mutual fund industry added 6.8 million investors in FY24 which is 70% more than FY23. With such a large number of unique investors arises the problem of fund selection.

Which is a good fund to do investment or a SIP? It can be a real headache to pick the right scheme with so many options available under each category.

To solve this problem we have come up with the list of best equity funds under multiple categories. So stay tuned and read on.

The top-performing funds are those that have beaten their respective benchmark indices based on their 10-year SIP returns.

Additionally, these funds are also subjected to rolling returns and consistency of performance to select the best of the lot.

So let’s start with Large caps.

The first round of test (10-year SIP returns)

Large Cap Funds

These funds invest in the top 100 companies in terms of market capitalization. Which makes them relatively lower risk.

The benchmark for this category is Nifty 100 TRI which delivered 15.34% over the 10 years. Out of 24 funds, 10 funds managed to beat Nifty 100 TRI.

The top five schemes that delivered 16.69-18.44 returns included: Nippon India Large Cap, ICICI Prudential Bluechip, Baroda BNP Paribas Large Cap, Canara Robeco Bluechip Equity, and Edelweiss Large Cap.

Mid-Cap Funds

These funds invest in mid-sized companies that are ranked between 101 to 250 in terms of market capitalization.

The benchmark for this category is the Nifty Midcap TRI 150. Out of the 21 funds only 5 funds were able to beat the benchmark, so the Midcap category wasn’t much profitable for the investors.

The top five performers included: Quant Midcap, Motilal Oswal Midcap, Edelweiss Midcap, HDFC Midcap Opportunities, and Nippon India Growth.

Small-Cap Funds

One of the most interesting categories that have gotten investors’ attention is the Small caps. These funds invest at least 65% in the companies ranked below 250 in terms of market cap.

The benchmark for this category is Nifty Smallcap TRI 250. Out of the 12 schemes 10 have outperformed the benchmark. The top 5 performers included: Quant, Nippon India, SBI, HDFC, Axis, and Kotak.

Large- & Mid-Cap funds

These funds allocate about 35% to large-cap and mid-cap stocks. 7 funds outperformed their benchmark out of 18 funds. Quant Large & Midcap, Kotak Opportunities, Mirae Asset Large & Midcap, and Bandhan Core Equity were the top performers who beat the Nifty Large Midcap 250 TRI benchmark.

Flexi-cap Funds

As the name suggests, these funds invest across sectors and market capitalizations. Out of the 16 schemes, 8 were able to beat the benchmark.

The top performers who beat the Nifty 500 TRI benchmark included: Quant Flexicap, Parag Parikh Flexi Cap, HDFC Flexi Cap, Franklin India Flexi Cap, and JM Flexicap.

Multi-cap Funds

These funds have to invest 25% across each market capitalization, including large-cap,

mid-cap, and small-cap stocks according to the SEBI mandate. Out of the 10 funds 6 managed to beat the benchmark Nifty 500 TRI.

These included: Quant Active, Nippon India, ICICI Prudential, Baroda BNP Paribas, Invesco India, and Sundaram Multi cap fund.

The second test (The mean 5-year daily rolling returns for 10 years and the funds must have beaten the benchmark 60% of the time)

The Fund choices include

Large-cap - Mirae Asset Large Cap, ICICI Prudential Bluechip, Baroda BNP Paribas Large Cap, Canara Robeco Bluechip Equity, and Edelweiss Large Cap have beaten the benchmark 75% of the time.

Mid-cap - Edelweiss Mid Cap fund, beaten the benchmark 90% of the time.

Small-cap - Axis Small Cap, Nippon Small Cap, and SBI Small Cap have outperformed the benchmark 100% of the time.

Large- & mid-cap - Mirae Asset Large & Midcap, Kotak Equity Opportunities, Canara Robeco Emerging Equities, and Quant Large & Midcap. These funds have beaten the benchmark 75% of the time.

Flexi-cap - Parag Parikh Flexi Cap and Quant Flexi Cap are the best funds apart from JM Flexicap, Canara Robeco Flexi Cap, and Kotak Flexi Cap

Multi-cap - Quant Active, with 100% outperformance, and Invesco India Multicap and ICICI Multicap with 64-65 percent outperformance.

These funds can be considered for long-term SIP. But you should consult a financial expert before doing investments. This research was done by ACE MF as of April 10th. For more such insightful blogs, do visit our website Swaraj Finpro

This is India’s decade; we focus on the mid-caps, says Arun Chulani of First Water Capital Fund

Indian market is poised for gains in the long term and industries and businesses that will benefit from the ‘China + 1’ initiative, as well as the ‘Minus China’ movement, are the focus of Arun Chulani, Investment Advisor, First Water Capital Fund. In an interview with MintGenie, he talked about his view on the market.

Edited excerpts:

What is your view on the current market trajectory? For how long this rangebound move of the market may continue?

As a value investor, I think it is futile to try and predict the market’s short-term movements. It is far better to look at long-term themes and build conviction around a company’s intrinsic value.

Can the inflow of foreign flow sustain considering the strong gains in the dollar index and the rate hikes?

Again, to second guess what foreign investors might do and whether they will pull out their funds is of course important but while we may give credence to it, we prefer to focus on value. Of course, Uncle Sam wants some of his money back and conventional thinking might suggest that higher rates will allow some investors to better price risk and re-allocate to “perceived” more risk-free assets, which in turn might lead to outflows.

Are you positive about the domestic theme? What pockets are you bullish on?

Yes, most definitely. We are very hopeful that this is India’s decade. Much has been written about it in the press and there are multiple pockets that we would like to focus on. We are keen on industries and businesses that will benefit from the ‘China + 1’ initiative as well as the ‘Minus China’ movement. The latter are industries in which China itself is reducing its capacity – areas such as steel, chemicals, etc., as it looks to both reduce its pollution and upscale the products it focuses on. We are also keen on flexible packaging which is a relatively cheap proxy for the much fan-fared FMCG sector.

Can the mid and smallcaps outperform benchmarks? Please explain your views.

We very much focus on the mid-caps, and we believe that it is here that one can find value and companies that can create alpha. Of course on the flip side, you have to sometimes deal with opaque information and illiquidity. But with some luck and effort, one occasionally finds a diamond in the rough.

Is there more steam left in the auto stocks? What are the major challenges that the sector is still facing?

Autos are certainly an exciting space to be in, but I find them generally pricey. There is good scope for the sector but of course, there will always be risks due to high fuel prices, high input prices, and improvements in public sector transportation amongst other things.

The number of Demat accounts crossing 10 crores is a proud landmark. What factors have facilitated the rise of retail investors? Because of this, do you think the clout of FII will decrease in the Indian market?

We hope that this increase is due to a combination of factors. Ease of access, digitization, lower broker fees, and general education of making your money work. The market is one of the places where anyone with excess capital can invest and not only become an owner of some of India’s best companies but also benefit from India’s hopeful wealth creation. Of course, as the domestic investor becomes more disciplined and the GDP per capita grows, it will be more attractive for the FII.

The views expressed are the authors own. Please consult your financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

Navigating Today's Market: Insights into Nifty 50 and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) SmallCap Performances

Investors must understand the nifty 50 today's daily fluctuations and trends in the ever-changing Indian stock market to make informed decisions. Today's Nifty 50 performance reveals economic indicators, investor sentiment, and future movements. A barometer for the Indian economy, the Nifty 50 includes fifty of the largest and most actively traded stocks on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). It reflects the outlook of major industry sectors.

The Nifty 50 today has shown a mixed bag of results, with certain sectors outperforming others, indicating a diverse range of factors at play. Economic policies, global market trends, and domestic events have all contributed to the day's outcomes. For investors, keeping an eye on such indices is vital, as they offer a snapshot of market sentiment and potential shifts in investment strategies. The Nifty 50's movements can signal broader economic trends, guiding investors on where to allocate resources for maximum returns.

On the other side of the spectrum, the BSE SmallCap index offers a window into the performance of smaller companies with smaller market capitalisations. Investors looking for stocks with high growth potential pay particular attention to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) smallcap index because smaller companies frequently offer higher returns, albeit at a higher risk. Today's Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) SmallCap performance has highlighted the volatility and opportunity within this segment, showcasing significant movements that could be attributed to various factors, including market news, sector-specific developments, and broader economic indicators.

Analysing the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) SmallCap provides insights into the entrepreneurial and innovative capabilities of the Indian market, revealing sectors and companies that may be poised for substantial growth. However, it also underscores the importance of due diligence and risk management, as the small-cap segment can be susceptible to market fluctuations and liquidity concerns.

Comparing the performances of the Nifty 50 and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) SmallCap reveals the diverse nature of the Indian stock market.

What Is the Difference Between Midcap and SmallCap Funds?

A Mid-cap fund invests in mid-cap companies that have high growth potential but don't exhibit the risk associated with small caps since these companies have already attained a certain scale and stability.

A Small-cap fund invests in small-cap companies that are currently going through a high potential growth stage but are equally risky. Unlike the more stable large-cap stocks, small-cap stocks can be far more volatile.
