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. 331 of the 374 Index Funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

Worst falls, and the wait to get back
How far this fund has dropped from a high, and how long it took to reclaim it.
- -15.1%02 Jan 2026 → 30 Mar 2026
Still below that high — 3 months down, and no recovery yet.
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.
Calendar-year returns
What the fund actually returned in each year, not the smoothed average.
| Year | Fund | Nifty 50 | Diff | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2025part | +5.08% | — | — |
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 · AMFIAt or near its largest, ₹246.48Cr 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.
