Active bets vs the average Index fund. Biggest deviations shown first.
Accent bar = fund's actual sector weight. Vertical black tick = category average for the same sector. Green overlay = overweight, dashed red = underweight. The biggest active bets show first.
How crowded into the same stocks is this fund vs the largest fund in its category?
Category leader = highest-AUM scheme in the same SEBI category. A high overlap-of-weight number means the fund is concentrated into the same names as the leader (crowded); a low one means it's genuinely differentiated.

Each cell is one year. Q1 = top quartile within the AMFI category for that period. Cell label is the last two digits of the year.
Top-10 weight 53.8% means concentration is in line with most actively-managed Indian equity funds. Effective-N is the inverse Herfindahl index — a measure of "how many positions effectively drive the fund" after weighting. Category: Index.
Compounding maths on a notional ₹10 lakh lumpsum at 12% gross annual return. Green bar is what you'd have without the fee; red overlay is the fee drag. Fee is constant in this scenario — actual outcomes depend on real returns and any future TER changes.
Each row is a back-tested SIP — monthly contribution over the regime's duration, no fees adjustment beyond NAV-baked TER. XIRR is the annualised IRR of those cashflows; Abs return is the absolute cash-on-cash; Max DD is the deepest drawdown experienced mid-investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Alpha is the annualised excess return vs benchmark over the manager's tenure on this scheme. Beat-benchmark = total return beat the index over the same window.
Does the fund get worse as it gets bigger? Each dot is one historical manager-tenure: AUM at tenure-end vs alpha delivered during that tenure.
Correlation is too weak to confirm or rule out capacity-driven alpha decay. Re-evaluate as more manager-tenure data accumulates.
Each dot is one manager-tenure: X = AUM at tenure end, Y = alpha during that tenure. Connecting line in chronological order. Pearson r measures the linear relationship between AUM and alpha across the historical record. n = 4 data points.
