Computed vs the Nifty 500 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.
