Despite over 1000 point fall last week, these mutual funds rose

After being bullish, last week, domestic markets turned bearish due to profit-booking from investors in view of global tension amidst foreign capital outflows.

BSE Sensex plunged 1,112 points while NSE Nifty dropped by 356 points during the week. Experts believe that following Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) announcement on restricting 331 shell companies from trading, affected the sentiments of the investors. 

The time when investors were loosing money in equity markets, there are mutual funds which managed to perform well.
