Because on a page about your money you should be able to see who is responsible for it. Most Indian mutual fund content is published by a distributor that earns a commission when you act on it, under a house byline that answers to nobody in particular. I would rather you knew which single person to argue with.

That cuts both ways, and it is the honest part: one person writing is one person’s blind spots. What I can offer instead of a newsroom is that nothing here asks for your trust on the strength of a name. Every number the site prints is computed from AMFI’s published NAV history using a formula written down on the methodology page. If you think the risk-free rate is wrong, or the trailing window, or the weights in the star rating, you can see exactly which choice you disagree with and recompute it yourself.

• Primary sources only. Every factual claim traces to a SEBI circular or master direction, an AMFI publication, the Income Tax Act as amended by the current Finance Act, or a scheme’s own SID — not to other people’s articles. Much syndicated Indian MF content still describes the pre-July-2024 indexation regime, which no longer exists.
• The guide must agree with the app. Where a guide states something the site also computes — a capital-gains figure, a CAGR, a drawdown — it is checked against the code that computes it, so the prose and the number on the fund page cannot drift apart.
• Review dates are on the page, not just in the markup. Each guide shows when it was last reviewed where a reader can see it. A stale date on screen gets noticed; one buried in metadata does not.
• Explanatory, not advisory. A guide describes how something works and what the trade-offs are, and stops short of telling you what to buy.

I am not a SEBI-registered investment adviser, research analyst or mutual fund distributor. I earn no commission, trail or referral fee on any scheme on this site, take no payment for placement or ranking, and have no arrangement with any AMC. There is nothing a fund house could buy that would move it up a list.

Nothing I write is investment advice or a recommendation. A fund ranking first means it came first under a stated formula over a stated window — not that it suits you, and not that it will do so again. Suitability depends on your goals, horizon, tax position and risk tolerance, none of which this site knows. For advice, speak to a SEBI-registered investment adviser.

If a number here looks wrong, it may well be — the data comes from third parties and the arithmetic is mine. Mail support@wealthticker.in with the scheme and what you expected. Where our data cannot support a figure honestly the site shows a blank rather than a guess, and where a scheme’s own factsheet disagrees with us, the factsheet wins.
