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. 322 of the 373 Index Funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

TRI means dividends reinvested, as they are in the fund's own NAV; ₹ means a US index converted at each day's USD/INR, since the fund is priced in rupees. Needs ~3 years of history; a low R² means the fund tracks the index loosely.

Overlap is the share of each fund's equity book invested in the same stocks, by weight, across the Direct-plan universe — so a fund that is only part equity is labelled as such. ! marks a pair holding more in common than nine pairs in ten of its type, where that type has a measured distribution.

🚩Holdings under NSE surveillance (ASM)

2 holdings — 4.23% of the portfolio — sit in stocks NSE currently lists under its Additional Surveillance Measure. ASM is an exchange response to unusual price or volume activity (higher margins, and trade-for-trade settlement at stage II), not a view on the company or on this fund.

At or near its largest, ₹33.29Cr 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.

Net flow is an estimate: AMFI publishes a quarterly average AUM, not a closing balance, and it covers every plan and option of this scheme together, so it is a read on direction and rough size rather than a cash-flow statement.

About Index funds & ETFs

Index funds and ETFs must keep at least 95% in the securities of the index they track, 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 and any tracking difference.
