Abstract

Large cap equity funds are very popular amongst the retail investors because they offer stability and sustainable returns, over a period of time. This study investigates relationship between Indian stock market index and large cap mutual funds of growth category over the period of ten years. This study has been carried out to confirm the strength positive relationship dynamics of the mutual funds and what is the range of actual contribution of index in the returns of mutual funds. To understand as to what extend effect can be visible; various tests have been carried out across 5 open-ended Equity large cap funds. After series of tests were conducted like arithmetic mean, correlation, standard deviation, causality test, co-integration analysis and vector auto regression (VAR), which concluded that unrelated to any other factors, index returns have strong positive relationship with mutual funds returns in India and contribute significantly in majority of large cap equity mutual funds returns.
