Groww introduces demat for mutual funds. What does it mean for investors?
Here is our methodology:
ETMutualFunds.com
has employed the following parameters for shortlisting the equity mutual fund schemes.
1. Mean rolling returns:
Rolled daily for the last three years.
2. Consistency in the last three years:
Hurst Exponent, H is used for computing the consistency of a fund. The H exponent is a measure of randomness of NAV series of a fund. Funds with high H tend to exhibit low volatility compared to funds. The H exponent is a measure of randomness of NAV series of a fund. Funds with high H tend to exhibit low volatility compared to funds with low H.
i) When H = 0.5, the series of returns is said to be a geometric Brownian time series. This type of time series is difficult to forecast.
ii) When H is less than 0.5, the series is said to be mean reverting.
iii) When H is greater than 0.5, the series is said to be persistent. The larger the value of H, the stronger is the trend of the series
3. Downside risk:
We have considered only the negative returns given by the mutual fund scheme for this measure.
X = Returns below zero
Y = Sum of all squares of X
Z = Y/number of days taken for computing the ratio
Downside risk = Square root of Z
4. Outperformance:
It is measured by Jensen's Alpha for the last three years. Jensen's Alpha shows the risk-adjusted return generated by a mutual fund scheme relative to the expected market return predicted by the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Higher Alpha indicates that the portfolio performance has outstripped the returns predicted by the market.
Average returns generated by the MF Scheme =
[Risk Free Rate + Beta of the MF Scheme * {(Average return of the index - Risk Free Rate}
5. Asset size:
For Equity funds, the threshold asset size is Rs 50 crore

Why Adding Nominee To Your EPF, Mutual Funds And Bank Accounts Is A Must And How To Do It Online
Last Updated: Appointing a nominee ensures your savings go to the right person without legal hassle. Appointing a nominee for your financial accounts is one of the most important steps in protecting your family's future. A nominee is the person who will receive your money, whether it is in your bank account, mutual fund, or provident fund, after your death. If you haven't added a nominee, your family may face lengthy legal processes to claim the money. The good news is that most banks and financial platforms now let you update this online in just a few steps. If you invest in mutual funds using apps like Zerodha, Groww, Paytm Money, or websites like CAMS or KFintech, adding a nominee is also simple. – Log in to the app or platform you use. – Go to your profile settings or the nominee details section. – Fill in the nominee's name, date of birth (DoB), and relationship. – If the nominee is a minor, you will need to enter guardian details too. – Confirm the nomination using an OTP or e-sign it using Aadhaar. Most Indian banks now allow you to register or update a nominee through internet banking or their mobile apps. – Log in to your bank's app or website. – Go to 'Service Requests" or 'Account Services." – Look for the 'Register/Update Nominee" option. – Enter the nominee's name, date of birth, relationship with you, and contact information. – Confirm the request using the OTP sent to your registered mobile number. Once the nomination is done, you will get a confirmation message via SMS or email. You can change or update your nominee anytime. However, in joint accounts, you may need all account holders to agree on the nominee change. If you are a salaried employee, your EPF account also needs a nominee. This can be done easily through the EPFO member portal. – Go to the EPFO website. – Log in using your UAN and password. – Click on the 'Manage" tab and select 'e-Nomination." – First, update your family details. – Then add your nominee(s) and assign a percentage share to each. – Finally, verify and e-sign using the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number. Your employer's approval is not needed, and the change is updated immediately. Do This Now, Save Trouble Later Having a nominee in place for your financial accounts can save your family from stress and legal delays if something happens to you. Since all nomination processes are now digital and quick, it is a good idea to log in and check if your accounts are updated. You can make changes anytime, so take a few minutes now; it could make a big difference later. tags : bank Business mutual funds view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: July 28, 2025, 14:46 IST News business Why Adding Nominee To Your EPF, Mutual Funds And Bank Accounts Is A Must And How To Do It Online Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
