Suppose you had invested in a mid-cap fund, say SBI emerging business from Sep 2010. Here is a tool with which you can compare the current performance of the fund with all other funds in the mid-cap category and its benchmark.
I am not a fan of peer comparison after investing a mutual fund. Many other are. They end up reviewing their fund performance using star ratings. The ratings evaluate funds over a period which is different from the date we started investing in a fund and could significantly influence results.
Here is a tool for fans of peer comparison. They can enter the date they first invested in a mid-cap fund and can calculate SIP returns, lump sum returns, upside capture, downside capture, and capture ratio of all the funds in the Value Research mid-cap category, along with benchmark returns.
The capture ratio for each fund is calculated wrt their own benchmark. Here are a few screenshots.
The input screen
The comparison sheet. The fund invested is marked red and index is marked blue
You can use the comparison sheet to find compare returns, downside protection and capture ratios of all funds in the mid-cap category.

I will soon expand this tool to include other categories.

(1) In the Results Sheet, why Sundaram Select Midcap and SBI Magnum Global are not showing Upside/Downside Capture nd Capture Ratios?
(2) If I have an irregular investment – say SIP for some time and a number of lumpsum investments – how do I use the analyzer? Instead of developing your tools in an either/or (SIP/Lumpsum), can you develop them for an actual statement of a/c which can take care of both
1 is because the full index data is not available at Moneycontrol
2 is possible but I feel not necessary for all funds. This feature is available in the Automated Mutual Fund & Financial Goal Tracker
Comparative performance of different funds will be meaningful only with respect to a single benchmark (like the commonly accepted Nifty 50) and not a different benchmark for each fund.
Awaiting the same for other categories. esp Large Cap and Multi Cap
