In our previous article Best mutual fund consistent performers in 2015: Large Cap Funds, we discussed the most consistent large cap funds based on CRISIL's ranking of consistent performers. In this blog, we will discuss the top 8 most consistent flexi cap diversified equity funds. Consistent flexi cap performers outperformed their market benchmark and their peers, generating good returns across different market conditions. CRISIL has a special ranking for consistent performers across all equity fund categories. CRISIL ranks consistent performers based on mean return and volatility over 5 years, in addition to the CRISIL cluster rank for the 3 year performance of the fund. CRISIL calculates mean return and volatility for five years, with each one-year period being weighted progressively with the most recent period having the highest weight.
Top 10 flexi cap diversified equity consistent performers
The table below lists the top 8 consistent large cap fund performers based on CRISIL ranking. The funds are listed in descending order of 3 years trailing annualized returns. Returns in the table are for growth options in regular plans. Trailing returns are based on NAVs on September 09, 2015. While the table shows trailing returns from the funds across different timescales, investors should not give too much importance to short term returns. Equity mutual fund investments should always be made with a long term investment horizon. Short term performance is influenced by the market conditions prevailing during the time period. Long term performance (over an investment horizon of 3 years or more) reflects the strength of the fundamentals and the structural macro-economic growth.
If we compare the returns of the top 8 consistent performers with that of the flexi cap diversified equity funds category, most of these funds have outperformed the category both in the short term and the long term.
Rolling Returns of the Top 8 most consistent performers
Rolling returns is the best measure of a fund's performance in terms of consistency. Trailing returns have a recency bias and point to point returns are specific to the period in consideration. Rolling returns, on the other hand, measures the fund's absolute and relative performance during the timescale in question, without bias. We will see that the Top 10 flexi cap diversified equity funds in question have delivered outstanding rolling returns over the long term.
