Mutual Fund Performance and Investment Trends Show Varied Returns and Flows Over One Year
Over the past year, several mutual fund categories showed varied performance and investor behavior. Nine equity mutual funds, mainly small-cap, delivered over 30% returns on SIP investments, with Bank of India Small Cap Fund leading at 45.95%. Flexi-cap funds saw mixed results, with 31 of 46 schemes posting positive returns despite a 1.67% decline in the Nifty 500 benchmark. Mutual fund inflows were uneven, with flexi-cap, small-cap, and mid-cap funds attracting significant investments even amid fluctuating returns. Understanding mutual fund returns involves considering portfolio composition, market movements, and investment duration.
