Best Performing Mutual Funds in the Present Market
Best Performing Mutual Funds
Mutual funds being the buzzing words in the investment market, everyone seeks to find the best performing mutual funds. But the concept of the best performing mutual funds does not depend on a single factor; an investor needs to verify a few essential things to determine which mutual fund is performing well in the market. Apart from verifying the percentage of return in the last few years, a company’s profile, number of schemes, and its Net Asset Value (NAV) are equally important. The following things become determining factors for assessing best performing mutual funds in the market.
CRISIL Rank: CRISIL rank is globally recognized for evaluating a mutual fund’s performance in all segments. CRISIL rank depends on the factors like scope of return, nature of the portfolio, volatility, quality of assets, risk factors, liquidity analysis, etc. After analyzing all such factors over a period of three to ten years. Rating is given between 1-5, the more a company is rated, the more a company is supposed to be worthy of investment. The top 10% of companies that perform well in all segments are rated 5; whereas the 10% from the bottom line are rated 1. Some of the 5 & 4 rated top-performing funds* in the present mutual fund market are Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund – Growth (5 star), Aditya Birla Sun Life Tax Relief 96 – Regular Plan – Growth ELSS (4 star), ICICI Prudential Focused Equity Fund – Retail – Growth (4 star), Edelweiss Large and Mid Cap Fund – Regular Plan – Growth (4 star), Kotak Equity Opportunities Fund – Growth (4 star), IDFC Large Cap – Regular Plan – Growth (4 star), DSP Midcap Fund – Regular Plan – Growth (4 star), Sundaram Rural and Consumption Fund – Growth Sectoral/Thematic (5 star), SBI Infrastructure Fund – Growth (4 star), etc.
Net Asset Value (NAV): Net Asset value is a parameter that an investor must check before investing in a mutual fund. Total assets controlled by an Asset Management Company is known to be Asset Under Management (AuM). NAV is determined by subtracting the price of total assets minus the total liabilities and then divided by the number of units. The NAV, as well as AuM of an AMC, gives an idea about the present market value of the fund. For instance, the total Asset Under Management of Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund – Growth (as of 27 August 2021) is 19,567.86 and it says that it is a large fund to invest in.
Return: Return is the most important thing for investment and it is the only factor that we seek. Mutual fund returns are subject to market risk, but a sincere investigation about a scheme and its past performance help to overcome the risk. Only seeing the immediate return is not a good idea. An investor should see the return of a mutual fund over the weeks, months, and years to see how consistent the fund is. Mutual funds providing consistent moderate returns are more trustworthy than mutual funds having big ups and downs. The diversity of a fund scatters the risk factor and provides a comparatively consistent return over the period. A mutual fund investing in equity or debt is prone to more risk than a mutual fund that combines equity and debts in its fund.
This guidance will help the new and existing investors who want to ensure the best return out of mutual fund investments. Return in the Mutual Fund during this COVID 19 situation might be volatile.
