Despite this, the market witnessed a broad-based rally; the Nifty 500 &#8211; TRI is up by around 75% on a 1-year return basis (as on March 26).

The segment benefitted from the RBI&#8217;s liquidity boost that provided easy access to capital, while the government&#8217;s push to boost manufacturing and other stimulus measures likely worked in its favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, most Small-cap fund and Mid-cap fund have higher allocation to the stocks in the Pharma and Infotech sector, which outperformed most other sectors amid the economic downturn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Table: <em>Equity funds that doubled investors&#8217; wealth in the last one year<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table border=\"1\" bordercolor=\"#dddddd\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.75pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,sans-serif; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; LINE-HEIGHT: 17pt; color: black; text-align:center;\">\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr style=\"background:#E8E8E8;\">\n\t\t\t<td rowspan=\"2\"><strong style=\"color:red;\">Scheme Name<\/strong><\/td>\n\t\t\t<td><strong style=\"color:red;\">Absolute (%)<\/strong><\/td>\n\t\t\t<td colspan=\"3\"><strong style=\"color:red;\">CAGR (%)<\/strong><\/td>\n\t\t\t<td rowspan=\"2\"><strong style=\"color:red;\">Std.

It is important to remember that past performance is in no way an indicator of future returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A top performer of a particular year\/market phase\/cycle rarely appears as the top performer in the ensuing year\/market phase\/cycle. Besides, certain funds have the ability to generate alpha only during positive market trends and may be unable to generate consistent returns across timeframes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, it is possible that the scheme has generated superior returns by undertaking higher risk and therefore may prove to be unsuitable to your risk profile, especially if you are a moderate-conservative investor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, certain categories such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personalfn.com\/mutual-fund\/best-midcap-funds-to-invest-in-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mid-cap fund<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personalfn.com\/mutual-fund\/best-small-cap-funds-to-invest-in-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Small-cap fund<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personalfn.com\/mutual-fund\/best-focused-mutual-fund-to-invest-in-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Focused fund<\/a> have the ability to generate higher alpha as compared to categories such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personalfn.com\/mutual-fund\/best-large-cap-mutual-funds-to-invest-in-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Large-cap fund<\/a>, but they are also highly risky. Thus, chasing returns can cost you dearly and affect your financial goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see in the table, among the top performers of the last one year (in terms of returns), very few fare well on risk-reward parameter as compared to the category average and may witness significant drawdown if the market corrects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personalfn.com\/dwl\/indian-equity-markets-at-risk-heres-how-you-can-safeguard-your-investments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Indian equity market may be at risk<\/a> in the near term due to various factors ranging from expensive valuations across market capitalisation, to concerns about the second wave of COVID-19, rising US bond yield, potential surge in non-performing assets, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So instead of chasing returns, a better approach will be to invest in schemes with steady performance regardless of market conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though there is no harm in analysing a fund&#8217;s past performance, it should not be the only deciding factor for investment. The fund must be able to reward investors by undertaking reasonable level of risk consistent with its investment style and strategy. Remember that the true essence of alpha is to generate <em>&#8216;extra return without taking extra risk&#8217;.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you should be looking at the portfolio characteristics of the scheme to assess its ability to generate reliable returns by analysing the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Whether the scheme is well-diversified across stocks and sectors<\/li><li>The quality of securities held<\/li><li>Portfolio churning rate<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Invest in schemes of fund houses that have a reliable performance record and follow robust investment processes with adequate risk management systems in place. The ability of a fund to generate alpha depends on the expertise and ability of the fund manager in taking the right call at the right time and reward investors, irrespective of the market movement. Therefore, it makes sense to check the experience and qualification of the fund manager as well as the track record of schemes they manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have identified a worthy fund to invest in based on the above-mentioned parameters, opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personalfn.com\/fns\/all-you-need-to-know-about-sips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the SIP route<\/a> to mitigate the impact of volatility on your portfolio. Finally, since equity investments take time to grow and generate meaningful returns, ensure that you have a long term invest horizon of at least 5-7 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article first appeared on PersonalFN\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.personalfn.com\/dwl\/these-mutual-funds-generated-over-100-returns-in-the-last-one-year-should-you-invest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is not very often that we hear of extraordinary returns in mutual fund schemes; such returns are generally associated with investments in direct equities.
