How Are These Multi Cap Funds Ranked?

Funds are ranked using a composite of 5-year (45%), 3-year (35%) and 1-year (20%) percentile performance within their category. Rankings are a research aid and not investment advice.

Who Should Consider This Category?

  • →Investors whose risk profile and time horizon align with the Multi Cap mandate.
  • →Investors looking for professionally managed exposure rather than picking individual securities.
  • →Investors comfortable with the volatility typical of this category and able to stay invested through cycles.
  • →Advisors and researchers using this page as a starting point before deeper due diligence.

Factors to Consider Before Investing

Four signals worth checking before you commit.

Track Record

Look at consistency across 1-year, 3-year and 5-year windows. A single strong year rarely tells the whole story — the longer the history, the more reliable the signal.

Expense Ratio

Small differences in expense ratio compound meaningfully over long horizons. Compare funds within the same plan type (Direct vs Regular) before judging.

Fund Manager Tenure

A change in fund manager can change investment style. Confirm the current manager has been in place for a meaningful portion of the track record you're relying on.

Portfolio Overlap

If you already hold funds in adjacent categories, check for overlap. Holding three funds that own the same 40 stocks doesn't diversify anything.

Why Multi-Period Ranking Matters

A single strong year is not a track record. Markets rotate. A fund that dominates one calendar year can lag the next. Ranking on a single window rewards funds that happen to be positioned well for a specific stretch — not funds that compound reliably.

Percentile within category, not raw percentage. Comparing an 18% return in Large Cap to an 18% return in Small Cap makes no sense — different risk, different universe. On this page, every fund is scored against its direct peers, in the same category, on the same period. Only then are the numbers combined.

Longer horizons carry more weight. For the long-term ranking (Best), 5-year performance is weighted at 45%, 3-year at 35%, 1-year at 20%. This structure is designed to favour funds that have delivered over full market cycles rather than over the last twelve months.

💡 Pro Tip: Use the Returns page to see the raw numbers, the Top page for recent momentum, and the Best page for a longer-horizon ranking. Different questions need different views.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are these Multi Cap funds ranked?

Funds are ranked using a composite of 5-year (45%), 3-year (35%) and 1-year (20%) percentile performance within their category. Rankings are a research aid and not investment advice.

How often is this page updated?

Underlying fund data is refreshed nightly. The page is regenerated automatically after each refresh, and the "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent generation. You are always seeing the latest snapshot.

Is this investment advice?

No. Rankings on this page are a research aid only. They do not constitute investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any scheme. Read the Scheme Information Document and consult a SEBI-registered adviser before investing.

Why isn't every Multi Cap fund listed here?

This page shows the top 9 funds in the category based on the ranking methodology above. The full universe of Multi Cap schemes is larger — this snapshot is designed to surface the strongest candidates for further research, not to be an exhaustive directory.

What's the difference between Best, Top, and Returns pages?

Best ranks by long-term composite performance (weighted toward 3Y and 5Y). Top ranks by recent momentum (weighted toward 3M, 6M and 9M). Returns shows raw numbers across all six periods with no composite ranking, so you can compare funds on whatever metric you care about.

How do I use these rankings in a client conversation?

Treat them as a starting point. Use the Returns page to show the raw numbers, the Best page to explain why a longer horizon matters, and the Top page when discussing recent momentum. Rankings are most useful when paired with a conversation about the client's time horizon, existing portfolio, and risk profile.
