Small-cap funds top 2026 equity mutual fund return list
In short
Small-cap funds are leading the active diversified equity mutual fund list in 2026 so far, according to the publisher summary. Mid-cap schemes also show up when returns are checked over three and five years.
This matters for investors watching which funds have done best over different time frames. The reporting does not give fund names, return figures, or the full ranking list.
What the reporting says
Small-cap funds dominate the top-performing active diversified equity mutual fund list in 2026 so far, with mid-cap schemes also appearing over longer periods. The publisher-supplied summary says a comparison of year-to-date, three-year and five-year returns shows the rankings changing by investment horizon. No specific fund names, return numbers or ranking table are stated in the available reporting.
Why it matters
The publisher-supplied summary says small-cap funds are at the top of the active diversified equity mutual fund list in 2026 so far, while mid-cap schemes also appear in longer-period comparisons. It references year-to-date, three-year and five-year CAGR rankings, but gives no individual fund names or return figures. That leaves the specific leaders, exact performance gap and timing unclear.
