ICICI Prudential and Aditya Birla Sun Life dominate the latest mutual fund ratings with 12 five-star funds spanning equity, hybrid, and debt categories. The list includes top scores for dividend yield, banking, digital, and gilt funds.
Alpha Score of 57 reflects moderate overall profile with strong momentum, weak value, strong quality. Based on 3 of 4 signals — score is capped at 90 until remaining data ingests.
The latest batch of mutual fund ratings put ICICI Prudential and Aditya Birla Sun Life at the top of the scoreboard, data show. Between them, the two houses placed 12 funds in the highest tier across equity, hybrid, and debt categories.
ICICI Prudential earned five-star scores for its Dividend Yield Equity Fund, Balanced Advantage Fund, Banking & Financial Services Fund, and Nifty Next 50 Index Fund. Aditya Birla Sun Life matched that breadth with eight top-rated funds: the Regular Savings, Digital India, Dividend Yield, Equity Savings, ELSS Tax Saver, Large & Mid Cap, Floating Rate, and Money Manager funds.
The list also includes strong showings from Baroda BNP Paribas, whose Aggressive Hybrid Fund and India Consumption Fund both scored top marks, and from Nippon India, Tata, LIC MF, PGIM India, Taurus, Mahindra Manulife, WhiteOak Capital, and Bandhan. The range of categories covered is wide – from ultra-short duration debt to gilt funds with constant 10-year duration, from banking-sector focused equity to consumption-themed portfolios.
A five-star rating is assigned to the highest-scoring funds within each category under a relative scoring model. That means the funds on this list are not just good on an absolute basis; they ranked ahead of their peers in the same investment mandate. The presence of multiple funds from the same house in unrelated categories – ICICI Prudential in both dividend yield and index, Aditya Birla Sun Life in both digital equity and floating-rate debt – suggests broad portfolio-management strength rather than a single winning strategy.
For investors sorting through fund options, the list offers a shortcut: a dozen ideas across different risk profiles, all carrying the top rating from the latest review period. The next rating cycle will reassess the same metrics, pushing the current leaders to repeat their performance or cede the top slot.
