Frequently asked questions

Generated from this category's live aggregates — average returns, fund counts, quartile spreads. Updated daily.

Sectoral/Thematic Fund is a SEBI-defined mutual-fund category. Each scheme in it must follow the asset-allocation and exposure rules set out in the SEBI October-2017 categorisation circular. Equity bucket for tax purposes.
We currently track 175 active Sectoral/Thematic Fund schemes (Regular plan, Growth option). The list updates daily after AMFI publishes new NAVs and SEBI re-classifies schemes. 11 of them sit in the top quartile by 5-year CAGR.
Over the last 5 years, the average Sectoral/Thematic Fund (Regular plan) has returned 10.34% CAGR — that turns ₹1 lakh into roughly ₹163,564. Over the last 12 months the category averaged 3.88%. Top-quartile funds in this category typically beat the average by 3-6 percentage points per year — fund selection within a category matters more than the category choice itself.
Over the trailing 5-year window, the highest-returning Sectoral/Thematic Fund in our database is **DSP BlackRock India T.I.G.E.R. Fund - Regular Plan - Growth** (DSP BlackRock) with a CAGR of 23.13%. The category average is 10.34%. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns — top-quartile funds in one window often slip in the next.
The best 1-year return in the Sectoral/Thematic Fund category right now is **Nippon India Taiwan Equity fund- Regular Plan- Growth Option** (Nippon India) at 230.48%. 1-year numbers are noisy and shouldn't be the sole basis for picking — cross-check rolling returns and 5-year CAGR before deciding.
Across all Sectoral/Thematic Fund schemes with 5 years of history, the 5-year CAGR ranges from 6.93% (worst) to 23.13% (best), with a median of 12.42%. That spread of about 16 percentage points between top and bottom is a useful gauge of how much fund selection matters in this category.
On ProfitGuruOnline you can browse either Sectoral/Thematic Fund Direct plans (lower expense ratio, no broker commission baked in) or Regular plans (sold through distributors). Use the filter on the category page. Direct typically outperforms Regular by 0.5-1% per year in the same scheme — meaningful over 10+ years.
Sectoral/Thematic Fund is classified as an Equity scheme. Held for 12 months or more: 12.5% LTCG on gains exceeding ₹1.25 lakh per FY per PAN. Held for under 12 months: 20% STCG. Rates updated by Budget 2024.
Yes. Equity categories like Sectoral/Thematic Fund are well-suited to SIP because the monthly drip averages out entry timing — you buy more units when NAVs are low. Over 7+ year horizons, SIP XIRRs typically end up within 1-2 pp of lump-sum, but with much less stress.
Sectoral/Thematic Fund schemes need at least 7-10 year horizons. Their drawdowns can exceed 50% — anyone needing the money within 3-5 years risks selling at a deep loss.
Risk profile follows the underlying asset mix — see the AMC's factsheet for current allocation and historical drawdown.
Two or three schemes from different AMCs is usually enough for a single category. Beyond that you'd be re-creating the category average minus your selection cost. Focus on consistency (% of rolling-return windows that ended positive) over chasing top performers — top quartile rarely repeats.
Quarterly is plenty for monitoring NAVs and aggregate gain; annually (or after major regulatory changes like Budget 2024) is the right cadence for re-evaluating against alternatives. Don't churn based on 1-month or even 1-year underperformance — equity funds need 3-5 year horizons to fairly judge.
We rank funds within each category by point-to-point CAGR over the chosen window (1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 7Y, 10Y, since inception), then assign quartile and decile bands so any fund's standing relative to peers is one click away. Numbers are recomputed nightly after AMFI's NAV publish.
Daily NAVs are pulled directly from AMFI's published feed. Category classification uses SEBI's October-2017 mutual-fund categorisation circular. We compute returns, rolling-window stats, SIP backtests, drawdowns and Sharpe ratios in-house — no third-party feeds, no hidden adjustments.
