This is a performance report of aggressive hybrid funds in 2019. We study their returns and risk with different benchmarks and find eight of them outperformed the Nifty TRI in 2019 with lower risk.
First, we shall list the benchmark returns in 2019, fund returns in 2019, then the standard deviation (a measure of risk) in 2019 for both. First, we shall sort funds that have got a higher return than the benchmarks in 2019. Then we shall sort benchmarks and funds in terms of increasing volatility. Finally, we shall spot aggressive hybrid fund with better-than-benchmark returns with lower-than-benchmark risk.
This kind of filtering for other diversified equity funds over 1,2,3,4 and five years can be done with the Equity Mutual Fund Performance Screener. Also, see the process here: Want lower risk & higher return mutual funds?

Eight Aggressive Hybrid Funds beat the Nifty in 2019 with lower risk
We finally get these eight funds.
BNP Paribas Substantial Equity Hybrid Fund(G)-Direct Plan
Motilal Oswal Equity Hybrid Fund(G)-Direct Plan
Axis Equity Hybrid Fund(G)-Direct Plan
DSP Equity & Bond Fund(G)-Direct Plan
Kotak Equity Hybrid Fund(D)-Direct Plan
LIC MF Equity Hybrid Fund(G)-Direct Plan
SBI Equity Hybrid Fund(D)-Direct Plan
Mirae Asset Hybrid Equity Fund(G)-Direct Plan
This picture summarises the findings.
The only fund, Edelweiss Aggressive Hybrid Fund(G)-Direct Plan, to have beat the CRISIL Hybrid 35+65 – Aggressive Index in terms of risk and return is shown in red. The black rectangle represents the bounds of benchmark risk.
All points within the rectangle have volatility greater than the CRISIL Hybrid index but lower than Nifty. The eight outperformers listed above are marked in green. Notice the danger of taking on much higher than the Nifty. This is results in poor performance. Again a clear proof that higher risk does not mean higher return!
