In the first half of FY23 equity markets showcased soft performance. However, there were funds that performed well. In this article, we would be listing top-performing equity mutual funds in the first half of FY23. 

The beginning of FY23 was quite disappointing for the stock markets as markets (Nifty 50) started to inch lower. Although it reclaimed its high made in the month of April 2022, it failed to cross the same.  

Looking at the performance of the broader market, Nifty 500 declined 1.71% in the first half of FY23. However, speaking about equity mutual funds, 70% of the equity funds (excluding index funds and ETFs) outperformed the Nifty 500, while 84% of the equity funds outperformed Nifty 50.
