ITI Small Cap Fund led diversified equity mutual funds with a 25.31% three-year return and the highest alpha of 10.83, Livemint reports using Value Research data. Bandhan Small Cap Fund followed with a 25.26% return and alpha of 10.31.
Other top return funds included Invesco India Mid Cap (24%), HSBC Midcap (23.80%) and Invesco India Small Cap (23.54%). While these three did not make the top five for alpha, all had alpha above their category averages. Alpha measures risk-adjusted excess return over a fund's benchmark.
The report advises that returns alone do not show outperformance and recommends looking at both returns and alpha for a broader view. Investors should consult a SEBI-registered advisor before making decisions.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Livemint's coverage is a straight educational explainer with no political or regulatory slant. It presents two performance metrics, raw returns and risk-adjusted alpha, and shows that the top funds by one measure largely overlap with the top by the other. The article avoids endorsing any fund and ends with a disclaimer. For investors, the key takeaway is that all five top-return funds also beat their category average alpha, meaning strong returns were not purely a product of market tailwinds.
