Benchmark assignment is mapped by category and sub-category from public sources.
* The total-return version of this benchmark is no longer published, so starred rows use its price index, which excludes dividends. That understates the benchmark by roughly its dividend yield (about 1.2% a year) and overstates Excess by the same.
"Since inception (in archive)" uses the earliest NAV in the AMFI archive (April 2006 onward).

Rolling 1-year returns distribution · 1229 daily entry points · last 5 years

Imagine buying this fund on any day in this period and holding for exactly one year. Each bar counts how often that ended with a given return: green bars made money, red bars lost money even after a full year. Taller bar = more common outcome.

Same idea over longer holding periods. Returns are CAGR (annualised) so they're directly comparable to the trailing-CAGR table above.

Beat-benchmark consistency · vs assigned benchmark, across overlapping windows

Of all the rolling windows we observed, how often did this fund's return exceed the benchmark's over the same window. A higher fraction means more consistent outperformance, but says nothing about future windows.

As of 2026-09-30

How to read this: This number shows whether the fund invests in the same stocks as the index. It does not show whether the fund weights those stocks like the index. A low number (say below 60%) means the fund holds a meaningful share in stocks the index doesn't carry at all (typical of sectoral, small-cap-tilted or international funds vs a broad benchmark). A high number (80%+) is normal for any large-cap or flexi-cap fund, because Indian active funds mostly pick from the same large and mid-cap stocks as the Nifty 500. It does not on its own signal a closet index fund; to identify that you'd need per-stock weight comparison, which requires index constituent weights we don't currently ingest.
