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.

Longer rolling windows · annualised
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.
| Period | Windows beat | Total windows | % beat | Avg excess (annualised) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1y rolling | 707 | 1153 | 61% | -0.0% |

All values in %. Each cell compares the last NAV of the month with the last NAV of the month before. The latest month is month-to-date; the Year column compounds the months shown on that row. The Avg row is the plain average of each column across the years shown (11 complete calendar years in the last column); the running month is left out of it.

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.
