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. The stars weight the same ground 60/15/10/15 (performance/risk/cost/downside) across every fund in the peer group. Ranked within FoF Domestic (same plan and option). Based on a 1-year record — this fund is too young for a 3-year CAGR, so its performance is ranked on 1Y against the same peers. 104 of the 126 FoF Domestic funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

Taxation
Taxed as non-equityThis is a non-equity fund — a fund-of-funds, gold/silver, international or balanced-hybrid scheme. It isn't equity-oriented, but since FY 2025-26 it's no longer taxed like a pure-debt fund either: gains held over 2 years get the 12.5% long-term rate; shorter holdings are taxed at your income-tax slab rate.
Added to your income at your slab rate
No indexation, no ₹1.25 L exemption
Sets the short-term (slab-rate) figure above.
Applies to capital gains on redemption. Excludes IDCW/dividend tax, STT, surcharge and cess, and pre-2018 equity grandfathering. For research only — consult a tax advisor before filing.
