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; price means no free daily yield exists for that index, so the fund's alpha includes roughly the index's dividend yield. Needs ~3 years of history; a low R² means the fund tracks the index loosely.
