Top Performers
What Are Top Performers?
A curated list of mutual funds that:
- Have at least 3 years in the market
- Consistently deliver returns in the top 25% (at or above the 75th percentile) of their asset class and category across multiple time horizons
How It Is Calculated
-
Rolling Returns — Compute rolling returns for each fund over 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10-year periods.
-
Mean Rolling Return — For each time period, calculate the average of the fund’s rolling returns.
-
Asset Class & Category Comparison — Group funds by asset class (e.g., Equity, Debt) and category (e.g., Large Cap, Mid Cap). Establish distributions of mean rolling returns for each group.
-
Identifying Top Performers — A fund qualifies if its mean return is at or above the 75th percentile (upper quartile) for its asset class and category across all analyzed timeframes. Funds without 3-year rolling data are excluded.
-
Creating Lists — Two lists are generated:
- Funds meeting the criteria by asset class
- Funds meeting the criteria by category
-
Final Selection — Top Performers are funds present in both lists.
Disclaimer
Past returns do not guarantee future performance. This evaluation highlights consistency and management quality, serving as a base for deeper analysis.
