ABSTRACT

A mutual fund, which is another name for an investing business, is a type of financial instrument that pools the capital of multiple participants and uses it to purchase money market instruments and government securities. To put it simply, the management of the fund uses the funds raised to buy bonds and equities. The purchase of securities is known as the portfolio of the fund. Additionally, the investors split the revenue from this joint investment after subtracting any necessary taxes and levies. NAV is used to compute these costs and levies (Net Asset Value). The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of a five selective Indian mutual fund schemes during a three-year period from 2020 to 2023 using their daily Net Asset Value (NAV). The selected mutual considered for the study are private sector equity growth mutual fund schemes. The funds' performance is evaluated using the Sharpe index, Treynor index, and Jensen alpha, and the results will help investors make smarter investing decisions. The study aims to study the best performer among these 5 mutual funds i.e., HDFC, ICICI, AXIS, KVB and KOTAK MAHINDRA based on the study period.
