Best Focused Mutual Funds Of 2026: Top Performing Schemes, Returns And Who Should Invest

Best Focused Mutual Funds 2026: Investors looking to outperform the broader market often consider focused Mutual Funds because of their concentrated investment strategy. Unlike diversified Equity Funds, these schemes invest in a limited number of carefully selected stocks. This allows fund managers to take high-conviction bets that can potentially deliver superior long-term returns. However, the strategy also comes with higher risk. Here's a look at what focused mutual funds are, their advantages, who should invest in them and the best-performing schemes so far in 2026. What are Focused Mutual Funds? Focused mutual funds are equity mutual fund schemes that invest in a maximum of 30 stocks, as mandated by SEBI. These funds have the flexibility to invest across Large-Cap, Mid-Cap and Small-Cap companies while maintaining a concentrated portfolio. Since each stock carries a relatively higher weight, the performance of the fund depends significantly on the fund manager's stock selection and portfolio management. Advantages of Focused Mutual Funds Focused mutual funds offer several benefits for long-term investors. Higher return potential: A concentrated portfolio can generate better returns if the fund manager's investment decisions prove successful. High-conviction portfolio: Every holding reflects the fund manager's strongest investment ideas backed by detailed research. Flexibility across market caps: The fund manager can allocate investments across large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap stocks based on market opportunities. Easy to track: With fewer stocks in the portfolio, investors can better understand where their money is invested.

Focused mutual funds are suitable for: Investors with a high risk appetite. Those with an investment horizon of at least five years. Investors looking to complement their diversified equity portfolio. Those comfortable with short-term volatility in pursuit of higher long-term returns. These funds may not be suitable for conservative investors or first-time equity investors because concentrated portfolios can witness sharper fluctuations than diversified equity funds. Best Performing Focused Mutual Funds in 2026 Based on annual returns as of July 24, 2026, these are the top-performing regular focused mutual funds. Scheme Name AMC AUM (Rs crore) TER (per cent) 2026 Return (per cent) Motilal Oswal Focused Fund Regular Plan Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund 1,635.12 2.12 10.36 Union Focused Fund Regular Plan Union Mutual Fund 439.85 2.56 7.78 Quant Focused Fund Growth Plan Quant Mutual Fund 842.69 3.11 6.66 Among the schemes, Motilal Oswal Focused Fund Regular Plan has delivered the highest return in 2026 so far at 10.36 per cent. It is followed by Union Focused Fund Regular Plan with 7.78 per cent and Quant Focused Fund Growth Plan with 6.66 per cent. Performance Across Previous Calendar Years A comparison of annual returns shows that performance varies significantly across market cycles. Scheme 2025 (in per cent) 2024 (in per cent) 2023 (in per cent) 2022 (in per cent) Motilal Oswal Focused Fund -1.71 13.62 18.82 1.95 Union Focused Fund -1.95 16.38 20.84 -0.22 Quant Focused Fund 1.89 11.65 28.21 9.68 Also Read : PNB Scam: Nirav Modi's Return To India Still Pending As UK's Priti Patel Slams Extradition Delay Don't Rely Only on Past Returns Although historical returns help investors understand how a fund has performed across different market cycles, they should never be the sole basis for selecting a mutual fund. Before investing, investors should also evaluate: The fund manager's experience and track record. Portfolio quality and sector allocation. Risk-adjusted returns. Expense ratio. Investment philosophy and consistency. Whether the scheme aligns with their financial goals and risk appetite. A focused mutual fund can be a suitable choice for long-term wealth creation, but investors should look beyond recent performance and assess the overall quality of the scheme before making an investment decision.

Meta Restricts PM Modi's Video During CJP Protests Over 'Legal Request', Restores It Later

Meta-owned social media platform Facebook temporarily restricted the first video uploaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests in India, showing a message that the content was restricted in compliance with a legal request. According to the information available with ABP News, when users clicked on the "See Why" option at around 1:25 am, Facebook displayed a notice stating that the video had been restricted following a legal request. However, Meta later clarified that the restriction was not intentional. In a response to ABP News, the company said the Prime Minister's video had been removed by mistake and that the issue had been corrected. The video was subsequently restored on the platform. The development comes amid heightened attention around social media content related to the ongoing CJP protests, which have seen political reactions and discussions over issues including examination irregularities and student concerns.

Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw directed the ministry to summon Meta officials to seek an explanation on how such advertisements appeared on the platform and what safeguards were in place to prevent the circulation of such content. The ministry sought details about Meta's advertisement review processes, content moderation systems and steps taken to identify and remove harmful material.

'How To Kill Melania Trump': Report Claims Chilling Iranian Propaganda Video Targets First Lady, Barron

A purported Iranian propaganda video targeting US First Lady Melania Trump and her son, Barron Trump, has sparked fresh concerns over the safety of the president's family amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. According to reports, the video, titled How to Kill Melania Trump, outlines the first lady's public movements and includes explicit threats against both her and the president's youngest son. ABP Live has not independently verified the authenticity of the video. Video Allegedly Tracks Melania Trump's Routine According to reports, the video compiles footage of Melania Trump travelling in her motorcade and visiting several locations across New York City. It reportedly goes further by identifying luxury designer stores she is known to visit. The video allegedly describes such shopping trips as potential opportunities for attacks by what it calls "global freedom fighters." It also reportedly discusses the possibility of contaminating clothing purchases with a nerve agent. At the time of reporting, neither the White House East Wing nor the US Secret Service had issued a public response regarding the reported video. ALSO READ: 'Horrified He's Still Here': UK MP Behind Nirav Modi's Extradition Order Says India Is 'Hugely Angry' Barron Trump Named In Closing Threat The video reportedly concludes by directly mentioning Barron Trump, who turned 20 this year, with a threatening message. He said, as per rerports, "This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us." Melania Trump and Barron are both under continuous protection by the US Secret Service. Security also remains heightened at all Trump family properties, including the White House, Trump Tower in New York, the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. ALSO READ: US Consulate In Toronto Targeted In Fresh Shooting; Second Attack In Four Months Fresh Threats Amid Rising US-Iran Hostilities The reported video is the latest in a series of threats directed at President Donald Trump and his family since tensions between the United States and Iran intensified. Last week, billboards displayed in Tehran reportedly called for the deaths of Trump and several members of his family, including Melania, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump and Barron Trump. The displays reportedly carried the slogan "Blood for blood" and showed the family above flag-draped coffins. Earlier propaganda material circulating in Tehran allegedly depicted President Trump inside a coffin and, in another instance, placed his face within the crosshairs of a rifle scope. Melania Trump has largely stayed away from public appearances in recent weeks. She was absent from the White House Correspondents' Association dinner earlier this month, with a source quoted by The New York Post attributing her absence to a "scheduling conflict." President Trump has also acknowledged that he remains a target of Iranian threats following the joint US-Israeli military operation that reportedly eliminated senior Iranian leadership figures.
