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 Index Funds (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. 324 of the 361 Index Funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

Calendar-year returns

January–December, from this fund's NAV history. Absolute return, not annualised. “part” marks a year the fund didn't run end to end — its first year, the current year so far, or one it stopped reporting in; those years show no benchmark comparison.
Fund size over time
Quarterly average AUM · AMFIDown +6% from its peak of ₹73.20Cr in January - March 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.

About Index funds & ETFs
Index funds and ETFs simply track a benchmark such as the Nifty 50 rather than trying to beat it. They charge far lower fees than active funds, and their return is the index's return minus that small cost.
