Common period 16 Nov 2010 – 09 Oct 2026, limited by Axis Gold ETF. Every series is rebased to ₹100 at the start of this window. Benchmark lines are the category index WealthTicker measures against, which is not always the benchmark the scheme itself declares — the fund page’s Scheme Info names that one. Gold history starts 25 Jul 2016, so that benchmark is not plotted over this window — pick a shorter range to see it.

Best marks the strongest value in a row, and only where the gap is bigger than noise — a near-tie is left unmarked rather than dressed up as a result. SIP XIRR is a ₹10,000/month instalment over 5 years of real NAV history. Nothing here is supplied by a fund house. For research only — not investment advice.
