Top 10 India Equity Diversified Mutual Funds – May 2010


Here are Top 10 mutual funds in India for the month in the Equity Diversified category (See my previous post on FRPP).  The ranking in based on a number of parameters and values consistency in performance over a 3 year period rather than based on one number. Any fund in the top 20 is considered a good fund and rankings only reflect their relative performance.

The list remains largely unchanged compared to previous month’s list (Top 10 India Equity Diversified Mutual Funds - April 2010).  ICICI Prudential Discovery Fund has a comfortable lead and keeps the top spot.  Templeton (I) Growth Fund fund drops out of the top 10, and Birla Sunlife Dividend Yield takes the 7th spot. The two dividend funds in the top 20 have delivered positive returns during the last month in a choppy market, reinforcing the need to diversify one’s portfolio with such funds.
