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. 105 of the 127 FoF Domestic funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

Taxation

Taxed as non-equity

This 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.

How far this fund has dropped from a high, and how long it took to reclaim it.

  • -24.6%29 Jan 202623 Mar 2026

    Still below that high — 2 months down, and no recovery yet.

  • -10.2%12 Mar 202513 Mar 2025

    Fell over 1 day, back to the old high on 22 Apr 2025 40 days under water after the low.

  • -10.0%17 Oct 202528 Oct 2025

    Fell over 11 days, back to the old high on 12 Dec 2025 1 months under water after the low.

Measured on this fund’s own NAV history, peak to trough to the day it regained the peak. Falls shallower than 5% are left out. A recovery date is when the NAV got back, not when any particular investor did — that depends on when they bought.

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.
