At a time when the equity markets are tumbling more often than not, a few investors are leaving the route of wealth creation via equity mutual funds. Knee-jerk reaction is not warranted in the capital markets that go up and down considering the developments that take place. In the long-term, though, things even out. Even as most mutual funds are in red of late, they are still a lot better than their respective benchmarks, which can be either Sensex or Nifty. Performing above the benchmark is a positive statement for the particular mutual fund. Let’s see which are those funds that have achieved such a feat even as the market undergoes correction.
