Performance Overview
The Tata AIA Top 200 Fund, an actively managed equity ULIP offered by Tata AIA Life Insurance, has consistently outperformed its benchmark, the S&P BSE 200, across all major time horizons as of 31 July 2026. Its 5‑year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was 16.47 % compared with the benchmark’s 10.67 %, and its since‑inception CAGR (12 January 2009) was 18.27 % versus 14.31 % for the benchmark. Morningstar awarded the fund a 5‑star rating in the equity category as of July 2026.
Rolling Returns
Across rolling periods, the fund delivered 23.8 % annualised returns over both 3‑year and 5‑year windows, against 15.2 % for the benchmark, and 21.8 % over the 7‑year window versus 13.2 % for the benchmark. These figures are based on the average monthly rolling rate of return over the last ten‑year period, demonstrating that outperformance is a persistent pattern rather than a one‑off occurrence.
Investor Impact in Rupee Terms
A hypothetical investment of ₹1,00,000 made five years ago would be worth approximately ₹2,14,300 today, reflecting the 16.47 % CAGR. An investment of the same amount at the fund’s inception in January 2009 would have grown to roughly ₹17.30 lakh over the subsequent 17 years, illustrating the long‑term wealth‑building potential of the fund relative to the benchmark.
Fund Composition
Approximately 94.94 % of the fund’s assets are invested in equities spanning large‑cap, mid‑cap and emerging‑cap companies. Sectoral exposure includes 12.95 % in Financials and 12.43 % in Services, providing diversified participation in India’s growth story while managing concentration risk.
