Common period 07 Jan 2013 – 20 Aug 2026, limited by SBI Children'S Fund - Savings. Every series is rebased to ₹100 at the start of this window.

Portfolio overlap (same stocks held through more than one fund)
Some overlap is structural: SEBI defines large cap as the top 100 stocks by market capitalisation, so two large-cap funds are fishing the same pond by regulation. The bands below are measured per sleeve pairing rather than against one blanket threshold. How this is measured →
