Mutual Funds Near Their 52-Week Lows ? Should You Buy?
Identifying mutual funds trading close to their 52-week lows will give you an idea that the market has bottomed out. We already have a list of funds available for bottom-fishing based on the fall of their 52-week high NAVs: Bottom fishing tracker: which mutual funds have fallen the most?
Objection: Isn't buying at 52-week lows just market timing?
Response: While it may seem like market timing, this approach is about performing an initial shortlist of funds as a part of a broader fund-picking strategy.
This article will show you a list of funds that have fallen and are trading very close to their 52-week low NAVs.
Who Benefits from This Strategy?
Investors who have received a recent windfall like an annual bonus, money from a property sale or are simply rebalancing their portfolio, can start their mutual fund shortlisting journey from a list like this.
We recommend having the experience of at least one market cycle because, without it, it is easy to believe that stock markets rise 15-20% every year, like a supercharged fixed deposit.
If you are not this type of investor, it’s best to continue your SIP in your chosen funds as-is without making any additional changes.
Which mutual funds are trading closest to their 52-week lows?
We have set a threshold of 10% or less closeness to the 52-week low NAV to identify these opportunities using NAV data from AMFI for the closing date of 11-Mar-2025.
A fund will make it to this list if, for example, the 52-week low NAV is 50 and its current NAV is equal to or lower than 55. A maximum of 10 funds in each category are presented to keep the list of funds manageable.

Note Arbitrage funds will be on this list since by design they don’t give a huge amount of returns and therefore will be fairly close to their 52-week low levels.
Investors must be extremely cautious that this exercise does not turn into catching a falling knife. Just because a fund has fallen does not make it “cheap” to invest.
Objection: I don't have experience with market cycles; should I still look at this list?
Response: If you're unsure about market trends, it's best to stick with regular SIPs rather than making lump-sum investments based on NAV movement.
There are three key takeaways from this data:
Review existing funds: Investors should check if their current funds are on the list and evaluate their next steps, including consulting their advisor.
Rebalance portfolios: Most investors should use this opportunity to rebalance from debt to equity if their portfolio’s asset allocation has drifted by 5%. Having a worked out financial plan is important to execute this step correctly
