Case Detail:
What is a benchmark?
A benchmark is a standard against which the performance of a mutual fund can be
measured. Since 2012, SEBI made it mandatory for fund houses to declare a benchmark
index. This benchmark is independent and is based on the objectives of your fund.
Most large-cap oriented equity funds benchmark themselves against the Sensex or the
Nifty. Other benchmarks are CNX Midcap, CNX Smallcap, S&P BSE 200, etc. Hence, an
investor in an equity mutual fund benchmarked against the CNX Midcap, should
compare his returns accordingly.
