How the equity and hybrid funds rank

Each fund is ranked against every Direct Growth fund in its AMFI category on three-year return, to 23 October 2026. Categories with fewer than eight funds with a three-year record are not ranked.

Of the 28 funds ranked, 8 sit in the top quarter of their category over three years and 5 in the bottom quarter. The best placed is Aditya Birla Sun Life International Equity Fund (5th of 142 in Sectoral/ Thematic, 22.84% a year); the lowest placed is Aditya Birla Sun Life MNC Fund (138th of 142 in Sectoral/ Thematic, 3.91% a year).

What they cost

14 of the 29 equity and hybrid funds with a published expense ratio (the table shows the first ten) charge more than their category's median in the Direct plan. Expense ratios come from the fund house's own disclosures and are already inside the returns.

Reading this

• A fund house's size is not a quality mark. What matters to an investor is the fund they hold, against its own category.
• Three-year ranks are a snapshot and move. A top-quarter rank today does not mean one next year.
• Young funds lack a three-year record and are left out of the ranking, so the picture is of the older part of the shelf.
• Returns are historical, computed from NAVs, and not a forecast. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any fund.
