The purpose of this was to see how many schemes consistently beat their benchmarks in different periods like three, five, seven, and 10 years. Mutual fund advisors often ask investors to choose schemes that have consistently beaten their benchmarks over a long period of time.
Around seven small cap schemes managed to outperform their benchmarks in three, five, seven, and 10-year horizons. Four ELSS and mid cap funds also beat their benchmarks in these different horizons.
Here’s the list of schemes that have outperformed their benchmark in different periods based on rolling returns:

Based on the trailing returns, 17 equity schemes have outperformed their respective benchmarks in three, five, seven, 10 year horizons. Small cap schemes also topped the trailing return chart of schemes outperforming the benchmarks. No large cap and mid cap schemes made it to the list of schemes that were able to beat the benchmarks in different horizons.

We considered all market cap based schemes – large cap, large & mid cap, small cap, mid cap, ELSS, flexi cap, focused fund, and contra fund. We considered rolling returns for all time periods, rolled on a daily basis. For three year horizon we calculated returns starting from January 22 2020 to January 22 2023. For five year horizon we calculated returns starting from January 22 2018 to January 22 2023. For seven year period, we calculated returns starting from January 22 2016 to January 22 2023. For 10 year horizon, we calculated the returns starting from January 22 2013 to January 22 2023.
We filtered out the schemes that have outperformed their benchmarks in two or three horizons.Some schemes that might have outperformed their benchmark returns with great margin might have been missed out in the analysis.
Note, this is not a recommendation. This exercise is just to find out the schemes who have outperformed their benchmarks in three, five, seven and 10 year horizon. You need to include other factors while choosing a scheme to invest in.
