Abstract: Mutual funds have become a popular investment choice for individuals seeking diversification, professional management, and the potential for capital growth and income. This review paper aims to evaluate the performance of three equity mutual funds in India, representing different categories (large cap, mid cap, and small cap), over a five-year period. The study employs statistical and financial tools (standard deviation, beta, Sharpe ratio) to analyze the performance and risk characteristics of the funds. Data from the funds' factsheets and third-party sources is used to calculate these measures and assess the funds' volatility, correlation with the market, and risk- adjusted returns. Overall, the study provides insights into the performance and risk characteristics of different equity mutual fund categories in India. Investors can use this information to make informed investment decisions based on their risk tolerance and financial goals
