What the paper says
Mutual funds have risen significantly in the previous two decades. Recently increasing initiatives and finance have boosted Indian mutual fund schemes. Mutual funds have risen rapidly in the last two decades. Mutual funds are relevant in the global economy because of their unique edge over other investments. The Indian mutual fund business has grown due to increased initiatives and money mobilisation. Large-cap funds need more risk tolerance and longer trading horizons. Mid-cap mutual funds are unrestricted equity funds that invest at least 65% in mid-cap firm equities. Mid-cap companies attempt to balance risk and return and have growth potential compared to large caps due to investing in growth-stage firms. Unrestricted bond mutual funds that focus on small-cap equities are called small-size mutual fund managers. Thus, this study employs the ARIMA model to analyse the performance of 15 funds, 5 from each section, using returns (calculated from net asset values) data from December 2017 to December 2022. The funds' returns are expected from January through December 2023. The best big size, mid-cap, and small-cap funds, according to the analysis, have steady and greater returns.
