Quarterly net flow estimate: AUM_q − AUM_(q−1)·(1+quarter return). AUM shown is the quarter AVERAGE (AMFI central disclosure). Positive = net inflows, ₹cr.
Source: AMFI's official all-scheme NAV history (portal report; official NAV history, net of TER by construction). Monthly returns are month-end NAV chains; stale prints (>7 days before month-end) drop out rather than carry. Benchmark series are the median of plain-vanilla direct-plan index funds tracking each index (TRI minus ~10-25bp/yr tracking drag — verified against true-TRI chains). Direct plans, growth option only. Sharpe uses rf 6%, arithmetic monthly convention. Independence: all figures are computed from mandatory public disclosures with a fixed methodology applied identically to every fund — no fund can pay for inclusion, exclusion, placement, or altered presentation, and any material commercial relationship will be disclosed on the affected pages. Nothing here is investment advice; past performance does not predict future returns. Generated 2026-08-25 05:37Z · data through Aug 2026 · leaderboard · PMS leaderboard
