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.

Computed vs the Nifty Smallcap 250 TRI over the last 36 complete months — the closest match to this fund's mandate. 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.

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.
