Abstract

                      In the post reform era, private sector mutual funds started participating actively in the Indian mutual fund industry. Consequently, large number of investment schemes launched by different asset management companies surfaced out. The selection criteria of mutual fund became more complex in context of accommodating both return and risk measurement. For this reason fund managers are more concerned to retain investors’ confidence. Objective of this paper is to judge and compare the performance of selected equity and debt oriented mutual fund schemes with the help of important models based on risk- return relationship.
