Common period 30 Jul 2007 – 26 Oct 2026, limited by Kotak 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 (ETF NAV) history starts 07 Nov 2016, so that benchmark is not plotted over this window — pick a shorter range to see it.
