How this is computed

Each verdict is computed from this fund's own metrics against its sub-category — the number behind it is shown, not a black-box rating.

Ranked within Sectoral/ Thematic (same plan and option). 143 of the 251 Sectoral/ Thematic funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

Fund size over time

Quarterly average AUM · AMFI
₹741.03Cr
April - June 2026
+4%
since January - March 2026

At or near its largest, ₹741.03Cr in April - June 2026. Size matters most where the mandate is narrow — a large small-cap or a very large flexi-cap book is harder to move without moving the price.

Returns and risk are computed from NAV history and may differ slightly from other portals due to methodology (rolling vs point-to-point, dividend treatment). For research only — not investment advice.

About Equity funds

Equity funds invest mainly in company shares. They carry the highest growth potential over long horizons and the largest short-term swings, so they suit goals several years away.
