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.
What an investor SIPping into this fund actually got during named market shocks.
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.
