Best Mutual Funds: These 6 focused funds have yielded more than 20% annually over the past five years. Check here

Before investing in a mutual fund, it is extremely important to investigate the yields of one scheme in the past and compare the same with similar schemes in the same category. Past returns typically give an indication of how the scheme has performed in the past, which, according to some, gives the tone of future performance. It is important that the comparison of the scheme of one category with another scheme in another category equals the comparison of apples with oranges. This is why we select one category of mutual fund schemes-focused mutual funds-with the hand and make a list of the executive schemes in this category based on the past five years. First, let us first explain what exactly focused mutual funds are. These are stock-based funds focused on the number of shares (with a maximum cap of 30) with at least 65 percent award to stock and stock instruments. The latest data (Association of Mutual Funds in India) -data shows that there are 28 focused mutual funds with total assets under management (AUM) of £ 1,62,172 crore as on June 30, 2025. Based on the size of the assets, it is the second popular category, more popular than dividend yield, which is a total AUM of £ 33,161 have. Top-performing funds We list six top-performing focused mutual funds that have yielded more than 20 percent annually over the past five years. These schemes are 360 one-focused funds, Franklin India Focused Equity Fund, HDFC Focused Fund, Icici Prudential Focused Equity Fund, Nippon India Focused Fund and Quant Focused Fund. Focused Mutual Fund 5-Year Ramp (%) 360 One Focused Fund 20.85 Franklin India Focused Equity Fund 24.22 HDFC Focused Fund 27.61 Icici Prudential Focused Fund 24.21 Nippon India Fund 22.48 Quant Focused Foccused Fund 21.07 (Source: Amfi; Regular returns as at 6) If one can see in the table, HDFC focal point and the table focused equity fund produced the highest returns. However, it is important to note that the yields are historical in the past and are only intended to be considered for reference. It is not a precursor to future returns. In other words, just because a scheme has delivered extraordinary returns in the past does not mean that it will perform in a similar way in the future. And vice versa is also true.
