Introduction to Mutual Fund Returns & its type

 Introduction to mutual fund returns

Mutual fund investment is the best type of investment for you and your future. The good reason to invest in a mutual fund is they offer higher returns and diversification. Having a greater risk will factor will allow you to earn higher mutual fund returns. The mutual fund has become the most wanted choice among investors to reach their financial goal.

Before understanding what is mutual fund return let us understand what is a mutual fund. A mutual fund is the professionally managed investments of investors by the fund houses for the single purpose of investing in securities like stocks, bonds etc. They are supervised by a team of expert fund managers who diversify/designate the fund’s investments and try to generate capital gains or profitable annual returns. These returns depend upon the performance of the fund are determined as Mutual Fund Returns.

Types of Mutual Fund Returns

  • Absolute Returns

Absolute Returns shows the rise or drop in investment, in the form of a percentage. The absolute returns process of calculating returns is used for mutual funds with the security of less than 1 year. If the time is more than 1 year, the investor has to determine annualized returns.

If the holding is for above a year, we normally see at the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR). This provides you with the year-on-year returns.
The formula is ((F/S)^(1/n))-1. F = Final value, S = Initial value and n = holding period.

  • Rolling Returns

They relate to a scheme’s annualised returns over a specific period. Rolling returns sessions can be daily, weekly or monthly and shall be used till the end day of the duration in connection with the benchmark of the scheme or fund category.
Compound Annual Growth Rate is used to calculate the returns from mutual funds investment which has a holding period that passes a year. This would decrease the short-term fluctuations and volatility of the NAV of the funds. Under this process of calculating returns from mutual funds, it is expected that the investment is developing at a constant pace
To calculate the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) manually, the equation is as follows:
CAGR = [(Current Net Asset Value / Beginning Net Asset Value) ^ (1/number of years)]-1

  • Trailing Returns

It relates to an annualized return over a special trailing period till date i.e 1 year, 3 years, 5 years etc. Historical data is applied for a block of the period. It is a highly appropriate way to estimate the performance of the mutual fund. With this way, you can estimate a good 10 year time period of the fund on an MS Excel sheet by yourself. The method to measure trailing return in a Microsoft Excel sheet is :
Today’s NAV / NAV at the beginning of the trailing period ^ (1/Trailing Period) – 1

  • Total Return

It relates to the actual returns you have collected from the investment. It involves dividends also the capital gains.
For example, let’s say that you made an investment of Rs.1 lakh in an MF scheme, and the NAV was Rs.20. Since you made purchases worth Rs.1 lakh and the NAV is Rs.20, it means that you purchased 5,000 units. After a year, the NAV of the MF scheme increases to Rs.22, and the value of your units will be Rs.1.1 lakh (5,000 units x Rs.22 per unit), which means your capital gains shall be Rs.10,000. Now, in case the scheme declared dividends of Rs.2 per unit over the year, the overall dividend paid to the investor shall be Rs.10,000 (5,000 units x Rs.2 per unit). Therefore, your overall accrued return shall be Rs.10,000 + Rs.10,000 (dividend + capital gains) = Rs.20,000, which makes your overall return = 20%.

  • Point to Point Return

As the name implies a point to point return determines the amount that is earned by a mutual fund within 2 successive points of time. All that is discussed in the whole process is the opening date and the expiration date and the returns gained during that period are then analysed. All you need to measure point to point returns is the start date and the closing date of a mutual fund scheme.

Annual Return – As the name suggests, annual return indicates to the return earned from a scheme within the 1st of January and the 31st of December of a singular year.

NAV end – NAV start/ NAV start *100

  • Annualised Return

Annualised Return is determined the amount of increase in the value of your investment on a yearly basis. Also takes into consideration the impact of the compounding rate of interest.

Annualised Return= (1+ cumulative return )  ^ (365 / days held) -1
