Ranked within ELSS (same plan and option). 68 of the 65 ELSS funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

Worst falls, and the wait to get back

    Fell over 2.0 years, back to the old high on 19 Jul 2023 11.6 years under water after the low.

    Still below that high — 7 months down, and no recovery yet.

Measured on this fund’s own NAV history, peak to trough to the day it regained the peak. Falls shallower than 5% are left out. A recovery date is when the NAV got back, not when any particular investor did — that depends on when they bought.
