Flipping Mutual Fund schemes in a portfolio – Does it really help in a long run?

*data till about 17 Sep 2021, from NGen Analytics

The MF Flippers are the people who try to keep flipping MFs in their holdings without an idea if this process is adding or destroying their portfolio value ?

I did a small exercise on LARGE CAP mf s for over the last 10/12 years ??????

My Findings:

26 schemes which had over 10/12 year history

No specific scheme topped the charts Year on Year. Every year, it was another scheme which was a winner.

One scheme topped in 3 calendar years, and 2 other schemes twice. That’s it (upto mid Sep 2021, from the year 2010)

So, the best of the best probability of a scheme ending on the top of the charts is about 11.5%, in a particular calendar year ??‍♂️

The scheme which delivered the highest CAGR in about 10 years has topped the category only Once (2017) ???

There are about 6 schemes which never topped the charts in a calendar year but delivered over 15% CAGR (23% of the schemes) ………we don’t see these with a naked eye ?

Just 3 schemes delivered CAGR lower than 12% (one was very close @ 11.94%)….that’s about just 11.5% schemes delivered less than 12%

Meaning……

With an 88.5% probability, one has landed with a comfortable 12% CAGR for over 10 years………without breaking one’s head ??‍♂️

How has this happened????

Flippers probably don’t win

Sitters win

Well, in reality…. It isn’t so easy to just SIT TIGHT for a long long time ?
