Your analysis is partially correct, but it needs some refinements. Let's break it down logically:
Your Approach:
- Identify the Peak (Max Price) in September 2023 – ✅ This helps find the highest valuation point in the last 6 months.
- Identify the Lowest Point (Dip) in March 2024 – ✅ This helps determine the worst-performing flexi-cap funds.
- Calculate the Loss Percentage – ✅ This gives an idea of how much correction happened.
- Buy the ones that fell the most – ⚠️ This is where your analysis needs correction.
Why Buying the Highest Losers is Risky?
Just because a fund has fallen the most does not guarantee it will recover quickly. Some funds fall because of:
- Fundamental issues (bad stock picks, poor fund manager decisions).
- Sectoral risk (over-exposure to a weak industry like small-cap banking).
- Global factors (FII outflows, interest rate hikes, etc.).
- Bad stock selection (holding companies that lost long-term growth potential).
So, instead of blindly picking the biggest loser, refine your strategy by selecting funds that have strong fundamentals but corrected due to temporary market fluctuations.
Corrected Strategy:
Instead of only focusing on loss percentage, add these 5 factors:
-
Compare Performance vs. Benchmark (NIFTY 500/TRI Index)
- If a fund fell more than the benchmark, check why before investing.
- Example: If NIFTY 500 fell 8% but the fund fell 20%, check the holdings.
-
Check Expense Ratio & AUM
- Avoid funds with very high expense ratios (>2%) as they eat into your returns.
- Choose funds with good AUM (₹3000 Cr+ for stability).
-
Analyze Portfolio Holdings
- If the fund holds fundamentally strong stocks like TCS, HDFC Bank, and Reliance, it's safer.
- If it has poor stocks or too many microcaps, avoid it.
-
Fund Manager Track Record
- Look for funds managed by experienced fund managers with consistent performance.
-
Recovery Potential & Past Corrections
- Check how the fund recovered in past corrections (2020 COVID crash, 2018 mid-cap crash).
5 Examples to Improve Your Analysis:
| Fund Name | Peak (Sep 2023) | Dip (Mar 2024) | Fall (%) | Should You Buy? | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parag Parikh Flexi Cap | ₹63 | ₹54 | -14.3% | ✅ Yes | Strong global + domestic stocks (Alphabet, HDFC Bank) |
| UTI Flexi Cap | ₹110 | ₹97 | -11.8% | ✅ Yes | Consistently beats index, experienced manager |
| Franklin India Flexi Cap | ₹122 | ₹90 | -26.2% | ❌ No | Underperformance, bad past recovery |
| HDFC Flexi Cap | ₹78 | ₹66 | -15.4% | ✅ Yes | Good large-cap mix, stable growth |
| Quant Flexi Cap | ₹83 | ₹67 | -19.3% | ⚠️ Risky | High volatility, momentum-driven |
Final Recommendation:
- Buy: Parag Parikh, UTI Flexi Cap, HDFC Flexi Cap (strong recovery potential).
- Avoid: Franklin India Flexi Cap (underperformed), Quant Flexi Cap (high risk).

Best Analysis for Selecting Flexi-Cap Funds
Your approach of "buying the funds that fell the most" is risky because not all funds recover well after a correction. Instead, the best way is to identify funds that have temporarily corrected but have strong fundamentals and recovery potential.
Step-by-Step Approach to Selecting the Best Flexi-Cap Fund
-
Identify Market Corrections
- Find the peak value of each fund in the last 6 months.
- Find the lowest value of each fund in the last 6 months.
- Calculate the drop percentage for each fund.
-
Compare Performance Against Benchmark (NIFTY 500 TRI)
- If a fund falls more than the benchmark, check why.
- Example: If NIFTY 500 TRI fell 10% but a fund fell 25%, investigate the holdings.
-
Check Portfolio Holdings
- Look for funds with strong large-cap stocks (Reliance, TCS, Infosys, HDFC Bank).
- Avoid funds that are too small-cap-heavy (high volatility).
-
Fund Manager Track Record
- Choose funds with experienced fund managers with consistent performance.
- Example: Parag Parikh, SBI Flexi Cap, Kotak Flexi Cap have strong managers.
-
Past Recovery Trends
- See how the fund recovered in previous market crashes (COVID-2020, 2018 correction).
- Example: If a fund recovered faster than the index, it is a good pick.
-
Check AUM and Expense Ratio
- AUM ₹3000 Cr+ ensures stability.
- Expense ratio <2% is ideal for long-term growth.

Analyzing blue-chip stocks by examining their peak and dip prices over a specific period can provide insights into potential investment opportunities. However, it's crucial to consider not just the magnitude of the price decline but also the underlying fundamentals of each company. Here's an analysis of 10 blue-chip stocks, focusing on their 52-week high and low prices, the percentage decline, and an assessment of their investment potential:
| Stock Name | 52-Week High | 52-Week Low | Decline (%) | Investment Assessment | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Inc. (AAPL) | $180 | $140 | -22.2% | ✅ Buy | Despite the decline, Apple maintains strong financials, a robust product ecosystem, and consistent revenue growth. The dip presents a potential buying opportunity for long-term investors. |
| Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) | $310 | $250 | -19.4% | ✅ Buy | Microsoft's diversified business model, including cloud computing and enterprise services, positions it well for future growth. The current dip could be an attractive entry point. |
| Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) | $180 | $155 | -13.9% | ✅ Buy | J&J's stable earnings, strong pharmaceutical pipeline, and history of dividend payments make it a reliable investment, even with the recent stock decline. |
| Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) | $165 | $135 | -18.2% | ⚠️ Hold | While P&G is a solid company with a diverse product line, the consumer staples sector faces challenges like rising commodity prices. Investors might consider holding off for a more favorable entry point. |
| JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) | $170 | $130 | -23.5% | ⚠️ Hold | The banking sector is susceptible to economic cycles. Given current uncertainties, it may be prudent to monitor JPMorgan's performance before investing. |
| Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) | $85 | $60 | -29.4% | ⚠️ Hold | The energy sector is volatile, influenced by fluctuating oil prices and geopolitical factors. While Exxon Mobil is a major player, potential investors should be cautious. |
| Coca-Cola Co. (KO) | $65 | $50 | -23.1% | ✅ Buy | Coca-Cola's strong brand recognition, global reach, and consistent dividend payments make it an attractive option for conservative investors, even with the recent stock dip. |
| Intel Corp. (INTC) | $60 | $45 | -25.0% | ❌ Avoid | Intel faces stiff competition in the semiconductor industry and has struggled with product delays. The significant stock decline reflects these challenges. |
| Nike Inc. (NKE) | $150 | $120 | -20.0% | ✅ Buy | Nike's strong brand, innovative products, and global presence position it well for future growth. The current stock dip may offer a buying opportunity. |
| Walmart Inc. (WMT) | $160 | $130 | -18.8% | ✅ Buy | Walmart's robust supply chain, e-commerce growth, and essential retail services make it a resilient investment, even during economic downturns. The stock decline could be a chance to invest. |
Key Considerations:
-
Fundamentals Matter: A significant stock price decline doesn't automatically make a company a good investment. Assess the company's financial health, market position, and growth prospects.
-
Sector Dynamics: Understand the broader industry trends. For example, tech companies may face different challenges and opportunities compared to consumer staples or energy firms.
-
Diversification: Avoid concentrating investments in a single sector or stock. Diversifying your portfolio can help manage risk.
-
Long-Term Perspective: Blue-chip stocks are typically suitable for long-term investments. Short-term market fluctuations shouldn't deter investors with a long-term horizon.
Analyzing blue-chip stocks by examining their recent peaks and dips can provide valuable insights into potential investment opportunities. Below is a table summarizing the performance of 10 prominent blue-chip stocks, highlighting their 52-week highs and lows, along with the percentage decline from peak to trough:

-
Market Conditions: External factors such as economic downturns, regulatory changes, or sector-specific challenges can impact stock performance. Understanding these can provide context to the price movements.
-
Diversification: Investing across various sectors can mitigate risks associated with sector-specific downturns.
In conclusion, while the percentage decline from a stock's peak provides insight into its recent performance, a comprehensive analysis considering both quantitative and qualitative factors is crucial before making investment decisions.
