First time entrants lead CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking for the quarter ended June ‘10

First time entrants in the equity category bagged the top ranks in the latest CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking, announced for the quarter ended June 2010. The equity category saw 10 new entrants - six funds in the Diversified Equity category and two funds each in the Large Cap and Small & Midcap Equity categories. Three out of the six new entrants in the Diversified Category - Mirae Asset India Opportunities Fund, Morgan Stanley A.C.E. Fund and Quantum Long-Term Equity Fund - bagged CRISIL Fund Rank 1. While DSP Black Rock Micro Cap Fund, a new entrant, claimed CRISIL Fund Rank 1, in the Small & Midcap category.

According to Tarun Bhatia, Director - Capital Markets, CRISIL Research, “First time entrants in the equity category include those funds that have satisfied the minimum eligibility criteria of two years in existence and minimum average assets under management (AUM) cut off. The toppers scored high on the risk-adjusted returns parameter in comparison to their category peers. During March 2009, when the Sensex was at 8000 levels, the equity allocations of top ranked new entrants in the Diversified Equity category was above 90% as compared to 80% of its peers. So when the markets rebounded from the lows of March 2009, the call of higher equity allocations of these funds paid rich dividends and the rest of the funds had to play catch up”.

At a fund house level, Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund led the tally of top ranked funds with a total of eleven funds under CRISIL Fund Rank 1, closely followed by HDFC Mutual Fund and Reliance Mutual Fund with ten and nine funds under CRISIL Fund Rank 1, respectively. CRISIL's fund rankings covered 436 open-ended funds accounting for 80 per cent of the average assets managed by Indian mutual funds in June 2010.

CRISIL's analysis has revealed that Small and Midcap funds have outperformed Large Cap & Diversified Equity funds during the quarter ended June 2010. Small and Midcap funds gave an average return of 6.75% as compared to 2.76% for Large Cap funds and 3.92% for Diversified Equity funds. At the same time, long term Income funds with higher maturities of 3-5 years gave superior returns of about 2.14% as compared to 1.85% for the peer average.

The ranks are assigned on a scale of 1 to 5, with CRISIL Fund Rank 1 indicating ‘Very Good Performance'. In any peer group, the top ten percentile of funds are ranked as CRISIL Fund Rank 1 and the next twenty percentile are ranked as CRISIL Fund Rank 2.
