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.

About Sectoral & Thematic funds

Sectoral and thematic funds must keep at least 80% in the equity of one sector (banking, pharma, technology) or one theme (consumption, manufacturing, ESG). That concentration is the point and the risk: with no mandate to diversify away from the sector, the fund rises and falls with it.
