Value and momentum mutual funds continue to perform consistently: Report

Time of India3 hours ago
In mutual fund categories such as largecap, midcap, ELSS, contra/value, large & midcap, and aggressive hybrid, funds favouring value investment style have emerged as consistent performers, while in smallcap and flexicap categories, funds high on momentum style were among the top performers, according to Share.Market's CRISP
Mutual Funds
Scorecard (second edition).
Additionally, the report highlights that a few funds with 'High' performance consistency have been outliers in terms of risk. Individual Investors tend to emphasize performance or point-to-point returns of a fund, thereby creating a portfolio with high-risk concentration.

The scorecard revealed that among funds with 'High' performance consistency in categories such as Flexi Cap, ELSS, Focused and Aggressive Hybrid Funds, 25-30% of the funds were scored 'Too High' on Risk. Therefore, it becomes imperative for investors to consider risk as a factor along with performance consistency to build a resilient portfolio.
Many investors believe holding funds across multiple categories and AMCs provides diversification. However, a single style exposure could also lead to significant portfolio underperformance. The report highlighted three important things. Firstly, around 40% of the total AuM of funds analysed are concentrated in funds that are 'High' on the Value investment style.

Secondly, momentum, the second most dominant investment style among funds showing high performance consistency, commands only 14% of AuM. And lastly, approximately 28% of the assets are in funds that do not follow any particular investment style, and 22% are in funds that focus on buying high-quality companies.
A smart combination of styles can help reduce volatility and ensure relatively smoother returns over time. To avoid style concentrations, the CRISP framework plays a crucial role in helping investors recognize and assess the underlying style exposures in their portfolios, the report said.
The CRISP Scorecard identified the top AMCs by performance consistency, as Nippon India, HDFC, and
ICICI Prudential
were among the most consistent performers across multiple fund categories.
Quant AMC showcased high-performance consistency across seven categories, though its funds showed significantly higher volatility, and HDFC AMC funds largely followed value style, while Nippon and ICICI Prudential had a mix of Value tilt and style-neutral funds.
Lastly,
Edelweiss
with a strong Momentum tilt, and Franklin Templeton with a preference for Value style, delivered high performance consistency across five categories each.

The scorecard covers analysis of funds in core equity and hybrid fund categories, based on the 5-year data ending June 2025. It leverages Share.Market's in-house fund evaluation framework, CRISP, to provide a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of mutual funds, offering insights on their performance, risk, and investment style.
'With the growing adoption of mutual funds, there is a clear need for simple yet relevant insights that go beyond past returns. At Share.Market, we developed the CRISP (Consistency, Risk and Investment Style of Portfolio) framework to offer investors a more holistic view that brings together performance, relative risk, and investment style,' said Nilesh D Naik, Head of Investment Products, Share.Market (PhonePe Wealth).
'The CRISP Mutual Funds Scorecard is our way of empowering millions of investors with deeper, actionable insights on how their money is being managed. This second edition builds on that promise, and commitment guided by investor needs and driven by our belief in making data-backed investing more accessible for all,' Naik added.

US Stock Market Futures Slip: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures slip as markets wait and watch Fed rate-cut hopes amid Ukraine tensions

U.S. stock futures are sliding as investors adopt a cautious 'wait-and-watch' stance. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq are all showing modest declines amid uncertainty over two major drivers: the Federal Reserve's next moves on interest rates and sensitive U.S.–Ukraine discussions. Traders are weighing optimism over potential rate cuts against geopolitical risks, creating a delicate balance that has Wall Street on edge. Current Futures Snapshot Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F): 45,002.16, unchanged S&P 500 E-Mini Futures (ESU25): 6,466.50, down 2.75 points Nasdaq 100 E-Mini Futures (NQU25): 23,773.50, down 24.25 points These modest declines come as investors await key events later this week, including Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and earnings reports from major retailers. Why Are Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Futures Falling Today? Markets are taking a breather after weeks of strong gains. Investors are focused on the Fed's interest rate path, particularly as Fed Chair Jerome Powell prepares to speak at the Jackson Hole Symposium later this week. Analysts expect Powell to provide signals on whether September could see the first rate cut in a series aimed at supporting economic growth. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 most beautiful women in the world Undo At the same time, ongoing talks between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are adding a layer of unpredictability. Any escalation or lack of progress could ripple through global markets, affecting investor sentiment and prompting cautious positioning in major U.S. indices. ETF Performance SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY): $643.30, down $0.07 SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA): $449.05, down $0.39 Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ): $577.11, down $0.21 These ETFs mirror the slight declines in their respective index futures, indicating a cautious sentiment among investors. Live Events Fed Rate-Cut Speculation: What It Means for Investors A potential rate cut would typically support equities by lowering borrowing costs and boosting corporate earnings expectations. But markets remain sensitive to timing, scale, and the Fed's overall economic outlook. Traders are trying to balance hope for stimulus with caution over inflation trends and economic data, which have remained mixed. Market participants are closely monitoring the Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates. Futures pricing currently predicts an 84% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut at the September 16-17 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, down from 93% last week. This shift in expectations reflects concerns over inflation and economic data, leading to a more cautious outlook among investors. For the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, this translates into muted intraday moves and modest futures losses, as investors hesitate to take big positions before Powell's guidance. Analysts warn that any misinterpretation of his speech could trigger sharp swings in U.S. stock markets. Geopolitical Tensions Adding Pressure The U.S.–Ukraine dialogue is another key factor shaping market sentiment. Uncertainty over international aid, military cooperation, and political commitments has investors approaching risk assets cautiously. Even minor headlines from the talks can cause sudden spikes in volatility, particularly in sectors like defense, energy, and technology. This geopolitical risk compounds the market's 'wait-and-watch' mindset, meaning the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq could remain range-bound until more clarity emerges. What Investors Should Know Right Now Expect volatility – Futures are likely to swing around Fed and Ukraine headlines. Sudden news could cause rapid moves in Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures. Focus on guidance, not predictions – Powell's statements will carry more weight than analyst forecasts. Diversification is key – Sector-specific risks mean spreading investments across industries and assets can help mitigate sudden shocks. While optimism exists around potential easing from the Fed, caution remains due to global uncertainty. Wall Street is essentially in a holding pattern, balancing the promise of stimulus with the realities of geopolitical tension.

China pledges to address India's rare earth needs, Indian source says

There is an upward trend in India-China relations and Beijing has promised to address New Delhi's needs on rare earths, a top Indian official and a source said on Tuesday, as the neighbours rebuild ties that were damaged by a 2020 border clash. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is visiting India for the 24th round of border talks with Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and is also due to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, days before Modi travels to China for the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation . "There has been an upward trend. Borders have been quiet. There has been peace and tranquillity," Doval told Wang as he opened the talks. "Our bilateral engagements have been more substantial." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like All-Inclusive Cyprus Holiday Packages (Unsold at Clearance) BestSearches | Search Ads Undo "The new environment that has been created has helped us in moving ahead in the various areas that we are working on," he said. Wang told Doval that "the stable and healthy development of China-India relations is in the fundamental interests of the two countries' people," according to a readout of the meeting released by China's foreign ministry. Live Events The two sides "should enhance mutual trust through dialogues and expand cooperation," Wang said, and should aim for consensus in areas such as border control and demarcation negotiations. Earlier on Tuesday, an Indian source said that China had promised to address three key Indian concerns. Wang, the source said, had assured Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar that Beijing is addressing India's need for fertilisers, rare earths and tunnel boring machines. The Indian foreign and mines ministries did not respond immediately to Reuters requests for comment. China's commerce ministry also did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It was not immediately clear whether China had agreed to approve export licenses faster or grant blanket exemptions for India. China has previously committed to speeding up export licenses for Europe and the U.S. without actually dismantling the control regime. China's exports of rare earths and related magnets jumped in June after these agreements and as the commerce ministry worked through a huge backlog of applications. However, rare earth magnet exports to India were still down 58% compared to January levels, according to Chinese customs data. June is the last month for which country-level data is available. India has the world's fifth-largest rare earth reserves, at 6.9 million metric tons, but has no magnet production and relies on imported magnets, mainly from China.
