    Pharmaceutical funds are the best-performing equity fund category over the past year, with an average return of 19.1 per cent. After two calendar years (CY) of strong returns in 2023 (37.1 per cent) and 2024 (41.4 per cent), however, they have corrected 7.3 per cent year-to-date in 2025.

     “The pharma sector performed reasonably well last year, a volatile year for equities.
