About 12 equity mutual funds delivered returns above 40% between August 15, 2025 and August 13, 2026, an Economic Times analysis found. Nippon India Taiwan Equity Fund led with a 140.91% return, followed by DSP World Mining Overseas Equity Omni FoF at 75.72%. The next 15 funds were international funds, indicating stronger performance than domestic funds during the period.
ICICI Prudential Strategic Metal and Energy Equity FoF returned 68.68%, while Motilal Oswal Nasdaq 100 FoF gained 60.46%. TRUSTMF Small Cap Fund was the first diversified equity fund on the list, with a 31.98% return. ICICI Prudential FMCG Fund fell the most, losing 11.68%. The analysis covered nearly 570 equity, thematic, sectoral and equity-oriented hybrid funds, and was not an investment recommendation.
The easy story is that international funds have made domestic investing irrelevant, while the opposing claim is that one-year winners prove a strategy works. Neither follows from this data. Taiwan, mining, technology and emerging-market funds carry distinct risks, and several domestic funds also gained. The period is too short to judge consistency, while currency movements may affect overseas returns. Investors should compare rolling three-year performance, costs and portfolio risk before acting. Will these leaders still beat diversified domestic funds over the next three years?
