Roy Trivedi, Smita (2012): Post-crises performance of Indian equity funds: A comparative analysis across different categories. Published in: Conference proceedings of "International Conference on Emerging Trends in Finance and Accounting" No. August 3-4,2012 (4 August 2012)

Abstract

This paper studies the performance of Indian equity funds in each of the following categories: Large cap, Large and Mid-cap, Mid and Small cap, Multi cap and International. It presents a comparative analysis of equity funds in different categories in the post-crises period, i.e. in the aftermath of the global economic crises. Given that different categories of equity funds chosen for the study here have different asset allocations and investment objectives, a comparative analysis of equity funds across these categories would help to give an indication regarding which of these sectors have done better in the post-crises scenario.
