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 Liquid Fund (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. 41 of the 43 Liquid 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 · AMFIAt or near its largest, ₹174.79Cr 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.
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.
