When you invest in mutual funds, you are reminded time and again that “mutual fund returns are subject to market risks”. Naturally, you may feel that if your scheme is subject to market risks, it should be delivering market linked returns, since risk and return are two sides of the same coin. But how can you gauge whether a scheme is in fact delivering returns that are in line with the market or not? Here’s where benchmarking comes in.
