Commentary:
1. Since the Indian equities have been correcting for a while now, the equity mutual funds too have corrected significantly. This special report distinguishes the returns variations by sub type within equity funds.
2. The top left portion of the table above gives the average equity fund returns across all equity funds for different timelines from 1W thru 1Y which is used as a bench mark to compare the returns of individual sub types across each timeline.
3. The left bottom portion lists the 20 sub types and their average returns for all the timelines. The returns if above the benchmark return, then it is marked in green, else red.
4. There are only two sub types which have shown above the average returns in all timelines, and they are Technology and Pharma funds. The third one, International has shown above average return from 1W thru 3M, hence can be considered short term for further investments once the negative returns are gone. Fair to say, that these three fund types are more favored short term till the trend changes.
5. Please note that the returns in green can be negative return as the benchmark returns too are negative for 1W thru 3M.
6. The sub types are listed as per their overall return rankings. Overall return rankings are computed by assigning individual ranking for each return by timeline, and then average ranking is computed across the five timelines. The sub-types are sorted per the best to worst overall rankings.

8.1. Each fund sub type is listed with funds in descending order of monthly return. Only the top 50 funds are shown if the funds in a sub type are more than 50.
8.2. The funds are marked in green or amber as follows:
- Funds with above average return in all timelines within the list are marked in green. Please note that the funds in green too can have negative returns in certain timelines as the average return in that timeline itself is negative.
- Funds with above average retuen in all timelines within the list except for one timeline are marked in amber. For the amber rule, if anyone across 1W and 1M return is above average, then both are considered as above average. If both the 1W and 1M return are below average, they together are counted as one timeline.
- Funds with no return infor beyond 1 month can not be green, but can be amber.
