Methodology and source notes
Returns use the first and last available AMFI-published NAV observations for Direct Plan Growth options in the selected month. Since-inception values use the strategy's published inception NAV and the month-end observation available in this archive.
Primary source
AMFI SIF NAV History for scheme identifiers, launch dates and daily NAV observations.
Comparability
SIF mandates and benchmarks differ. Equal-weight summaries are descriptive and do not represent a portfolio.
Risk note
Past performance does not indicate future results. Read the SID and KIM before investing.
