Abstract Abstract
The mutual fund industry plays a vital role in the development of the Indian financial market by providing investors with diversified investment opportunities and professional fund management. This study aims to examine the trend of mutual fund returns in the Indian financial market using secondary data. The research focuses on analysing the performance trends of selected mutual fund schemes over a specified period by evaluating annual returns and growth patterns. Data have been collected from reliable and publicly available sources such as AMFI reports, mutual fund fact sheets, and financial databases. Trend analysis and comparative analysis are employed to assess return behaviour across different time periods and fund categories. The findings of the study highlight the fluctuations, growth patterns, and overall performance consistency of mutual fund returns in India, reflecting the impact of market movements and economic conditions. The study provides useful insights for investors, fund managers, and policymakers in understanding return trends and making informed investment decisions. It also contributes to existing literature by offering an empirical perspective on mutual fund performance trends in the Indian financial market based on secondary data.
