Best Mutual Funds 2024: THESE large cap, mid cap, small cap schemes beat the benchmark index in past 1 year

If you are planning to invest in a mutual fund, then it is recommended to examine the past returns of that scheme vis-a-vis other schemes in the same category. The past returns give a fair idea of how that scheme has performed over a period of time, thus giving an indication of its future prospects.

Meanwhile, experts often advise that the past returns are not the sole criteria which investors should examine. They are ideally expected to focus on other key factors such as the category the scheme belongs to, macro economic factors, fund house’s reputation, among other factors.

For those who are unaware a benchmark is a market index, or combination of indexes against which an investment portfolio’s performance is measured. For instance, for large cap funds, benchmark index is NIFTY 100 Total Return Index or BSE 100 Total Return Index. A large cap fund is a mutual fund which invests a minimum of 80 percent in large cap stocks. 

Mid cap and small cap mutual funds are supposed to invest a minimum of 65 percent in mid cap and small cap stocks, respectively.

Here we list out the schemes which have managed to beat the benchmark returns
