The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the world population and the economies. Apart from the health concerns, drastic changes happened in all the sectors of the economies which made the economic recovery more sluggish. The growth forecasts of the Indian economy have been modified by the rating agencies against the backdrop of the pandemic. In the aforesaid scenario, this paper attempts to throw some light over the prevalent trend in the mutual fund performance. Mutual funds pool the savings of public and institutions and systematically invest in productive financial instruments in the financial market. The paper aims to provide an idea about the few major factors that affect the mutual fund performance in the recent times. Mutual funds are relied on by Indian population as a means of generating favourable returns over the long run. However, the COVID-19 has badly affected the inflows and capital infusion in the financial market that made the investors rethink about the investment in mutual funds and other financial instruments.
