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; 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.

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.
