In this edition of the fund performance report, we review Edelweiss Large & Mid Cap Fund. The fund was launched in June 2007 by JP Morgan and was known as JPMorgan India Equity Fund. After Edelweiss acquired the fund house it became Edelweiss Equity Opportunities Fund and then Edelweiss Large & Mid Cap Fund to comply with SEBI regulations. The scheme has assets of only Rs. 1,270 Crores as of June 30th 2022.

The Market Cap allocation history of Edelweiss Large & Mid Cap Fund is shown below. The “others” represents bonds or cash components. The fund has a healthy dose of midcaps and a pinch of small caps.
We find out how consistently the Fund has performed wrt Nifty 200 TRI and Nifty Largemidcap 250 TRI. We will use three metrics to analyze performance consistency versus benchmarks. Analysis such as this can be found for 350+ equity funds in our monthly mutual fund screener.
1 Rolling return outperformance consistency: the fund returns are compared with category benchmark returns over every possible 1Y, 2Y,3Y,4Y, and 5Y period. Higher the outperformance consistency, the better. Suppose 876 fund returns were compared with 876 benchmark returns, and the fund has beaten the benchmark 675 times. The consistency score will be 675/876 ~ 77%.

That is reasonably consistent outperformance.
2 Upside performance consistency over every possible 1Y,2Y,3Y,4Y, 5Y: Higher the better. A score of 70% means, 7 out of 10 times, the Fund performed better than the category benchmark when the benchmark was moving up. This is a measure of reward. It is computed from rolling upside capture data (see link below).
| Metric | N200TRI | Nifty Largemidcap 250 TRI |

| upside performance consistency (2 years) | 73% | 51% |
| upside performance consistency (3 years) | 100% | 55% |
| upside performance consistency (4 years) | 100% | 24% |
| upside performance consistency (5 years) | 100% | 11% |
The fund has reasonable upside performance wrt the Nifty 200 but not wrt Nifty Largemidcap 250 TRI.
3 Downside performance consistency over every possible 3Y,4Y, 5Y. Higher, the better. A score of 60% means, 6 out of 10 times, the Fund performed better than the category benchmark when the benchmark was moving down. This is a measure of risk protection. It is computed from rolling downside capture data. Read more: An introduction to Downside and Upside Capture Ratios.
| Metric | N200TRI | Nifty Largemidcap 250 TRI |
| downside protection consistency (1 years) | 75% | 70% |
| downside protection consistency (2 years) | 98% | 93% |
| downside protection consistency (3 years) | 100% | 100% |
| downside protection consistency (4 years) | 100% | 100% |
| downside protection consistency (5 years) | 100% | 100% |
The fund has reasonable downside protection wrt both indices.
The trailing return performance is also quite reasonable.

Most investor problems can be traced to a lack of informed decision-making. We have all made bad decisions and money mistakes when we started earning and spent years undoing these mistakes. Why should our children go through the same pain? What is this book about? As parents, if we had to groom one ability in our children that is key not only to money management and investing but to any aspect of life, what would it be? My answer: Sound Decision Making. So in this book, we meet Chinchu, who is about to turn 10. What he wants for his birthday and how his parents plan for it and teach him several key ideas of decision making and money management is the narrative. What readers say!
Must-read book even for adults! This is something that every parent should teach their kids right from their young age. The importance of money management and decision making based on their wants and needs. Very nicely written in simple terms. – Arun.
