The present study aims to analyze the performance of five selected equity mutual fund schemes in India—SBI Contra Fund, Nippon India Large Cap Fund, Canara Robeco Equity Fund, Edelweiss Large Cap Fund, and Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund—over the period from 2022 to 2025. The study evaluates the funds’ risk–return characteristics using key performance measures such as Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio, Beta, Standard Deviation, and R-Squared values. The analysis is based on secondary data collected from annual reports of asset management companies, journals, financial bulletins, and credible online databases. Findings reveal that Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund consistently outperformed its peers, achieving the highest average Sharpe and Treynor ratios, thereby delivering superior risk-adjusted returns. Canara Robeco Equity Fund also showed stable performance, particularly during volatile market conditions in 2024. Conversely, SBI Contra Fund exhibited higher volatility, while Nippon India and Edelweiss funds demonstrated moderate but steady growth. The study concludes that evaluating mutual fund performance through multidimensional parameters—beyond Net Asset Value (NAV)—offers a more accurate assessment for investors. The findings serve as a useful guide for retail and institutional investors in making informed portfolio decisions aligned with their risk tolerance and financial goals
