Just 13% large-cap funds beat benchmarks. A look at stocks the winners love to hold

Top 10 stocks holdings are one of the factors that determine the outperformance of the large-cap funds

December 27, 2022 / 06:30 PM IST
Large-cap funds continued to underperform their benchmark indices in 2022. Of the 31 schemes in the large-cap category, only four schemes outperformed their respective benchmark indices; either Nifty 100 TRI or S&P BSE 100 TRI. The Securities and Exchange Board of India’s 2018 category re-categorisation rule may have made large-cap funds truer to label and benchmarking against Total Returns Index (TRI) has made life tougher for large-cap funds. Expense ratios further squeeze their performances. That is why how a large-cap fund constructs its top 10 portfolio Typically, these constitute about 50-60 percent of the overall portfolio. Here we present the top 10 stocks holdings of those largecap funds that outperformed the benchmarks in 2022 and compare them with the weightage in their respective indices. Portfolio data as of November 30, 2022. Source: ACEMF.
