Rolling returns
Removes start-date bias by averaging CAGR over every overlapping N-year window in the fund's history. Higher average plus tight min/max plus high "% positive" = consistent.
SIP returns — historical "what if"
If you had invested every month in this fund over the chosen period, this is what your investment would be worth today.
| Period | Total invested | Today's value | XIRR | Wealth multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹ — | ₹ — |
XIRR is the annualised internal rate of return on the SIP cash flow — invariant to the monthly amount. "Today's value" and "Total invested" scale linearly with the slider. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. Excludes exit load and taxes.
Risk profile
Risk-adjusted return and volatility, computed from monthly NAV returns over the trailing 3-year and 5-year windows.
Sharpe / Sortino use a risk-free rate of 6.5% (1-year T-bill proxy). Higher Sharpe = more return per unit of total risk; higher Sortino = more return per unit of downside risk.
