One mutual fund now controls 23% of all the money in India’s multi-cap category.
Its AUM has exploded from around ₹9,800 cr to ₹54,600 cr in just 4 years.
However, its recent performance has been off-colour.
So, what’s going wrong? Let’s investigate. A 🧵
71% of Large Cap equity funds underperformed their benchmark over the last 5 years.
76% of Mid Cap funds also failed to beat their benchmark.
The average underperformance exceeded 1% annually in both categories, largely due to expense ratios, fund management fees, distribution commissions, and other operating costs.
The takeaway?
For most investors, low-cost passive investing through index funds or ETFs is a compelling choice.
This isn't just an Indian trend. Globally, investor money has been steadily shifting from actively managed funds to passive funds because consistently beating the benchmark after costs has become increasingly difficult.
