Objective (as filed with APMI)This is actively managed portfolio of listed stocks agnostic of market capitalization or sectoral
Percentile ranks this fund within its full APMI Strategy (all
Equity PMS together — the comparison basis SEBI's Dec-2022 circular
prescribes); the benchmark-group percentile is an EdgePnL analytical refinement. The
leaderboard Score is the weighted average of fiscal-year percentiles (each blends
return-rank and Sharpe-rank).

Return is the TOTAL return over the months covered — never annualized
(FY27* is year-to-date; a * row covers only part of the year).
Declared BM = the benchmark the manager selected under the APMI framework. Inferred BM = BSE 500 TRI is estimated by EdgePnL solely from the fund's own return series (a regression on large-, mid- and small-cap index returns decides whether Nifty 50 TRI or BSE 500 TRI fits) — analysis, not an official classification. Active
= annualized mean monthly excess return; IR = active / tracking error. Sharpe remains the
primary metric. 1 month(s) reconstructed from the manager's own later 3-month filing (a monthly APMI filing was missed; the value is exactly implied, flagged derived in our dataset).

Cumulative active return
Growth of the fund relative to its benchmark: +10 means ₹100 in the fund is worth 10% more than ₹100 in the benchmark since the start of the line.
AUM & estimated net flows
Monthly net flow estimate: AUM_t − AUM_(t−1)·(1+r_t). Positive = net inflows, ₹cr.
Source: APMI monthly IA-level disclosures (mandated by SEBI's Dec-2022 benchmarking circular);
returns are TWRR net of all fees and expenses per SEBI circular of Feb-13-2020, as reported
by each portfolio manager. Benchmark series are the cross-reporter modal consensus of
manager-reported benchmark figures. Reporting artifacts (impossible values on dormant months) are
nulled, never silently dropped; dead funds remain in every month they existed. History begins
Apr-2023 (the APMI disclosure floor). Sharpe uses rf 6%, arithmetic monthly convention.
Coverage: this site lists the client-facing discretionary PMS universe open to the
general public (~₹4.6 lakh crore). SEBI's headline portfolio-manager AUM (₹43.2L cr,
Jun-2026) additionally includes ~₹30L+ cr of EPFO/provident-fund special mandates plus
non-discretionary (₹3.4L cr) and advisory (₹3.1L cr) assets — none of which publish
IA-level returns or are investable products; PF/institutional mandates and private-markets
series are excluded from these listings.
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. EdgePnL groupings, inferred comparison
benchmarks and percentiles are analytical overlays, not official categories; each fund's
declared benchmark is always shown.
Nothing here is investment advice; past performance does not predict future returns.
