This study looks at the performance of Indian equity mutual funds from 2019 to 2024, focusing on timing, diversity, and selectivity as key variables. The funds' performance over this time was used to select ten. The evaluation made use of the following models: Henriksson and Merton, Fama, Treynor, and Treynor-Mazuy. According to the results, mutual funds usually follow their benchmarks rather closely since they offer relatively low-risk investments. Some funds outperform the market, though, so clearly there's talent in the management team. Mutual fund investors who want to get the most out of their money can use these findings to their advantage.
