Best Focused Fund Mutual Funds

Focused funds hold a maximum of 30 stocks. The concentration means manager skill and conviction show up clearly in returns, in both directions.

We currently track 29 direct-plan Focused Fund schemes from 28 fund houses with a median 5-year CAGR of 10.4%. Every figure below is calculated from official daily NAV history and refreshed each day. Use the column headers to re-rank the table by any period — the best 1-year performer is often not the best over 5 or 10 years, which is exactly why we default to the longer horizon.

Focused Fund funds — frequently asked questions

Which Focused Fund fund has the highest 5-year CAGR?

HDFC Focused Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option currently leads the Focused Fund category with a 5-year CAGR of 15.7%. Past returns describe what already happened and do not predict future performance — treat the ranking as a starting point for research, not a recommendation.

What is a good 5-year return for a Focused Fund fund?

Across the 29 Focused Fund schemes we track, the median 5-year CAGR is 10.4%. Comparing a fund against that median, rather than against the category's single best performer, is a more realistic benchmark.

How is CAGR calculated on this page?

CAGR is the compound annual growth rate between the NAV on the horizon start date and the latest NAV, using growth-plan NAVs published by the AMCs. Where a scheme's NAV history has a gap or a re-denomination, we adjust for it rather than report a distorted figure. Expense ratios are already reflected in NAV; exit loads and taxes are not.

Why does this list only show direct plans?

Direct plans have no distributor commission, so their expense ratio is lower and their NAV growth is higher than the regular plan of the same scheme. Showing both would list every fund twice, so we rank direct plans only.
