How to read this list
Is #1 the best fund to buy?
No. A “Top 5” or “Top 10” place means highest or lowest on this one historical measure. Past performance is not indicative of future performance, and a ranking does not consider your goals, time horizon, taxes or existing portfolio.
Why compare several columns?
A high return with a deep fall or high volatility is a different experience from a steadier path to a similar return. Use the dashboard to rank by consistency, risk-adjusted return, SIP returns or your own weights.
Where does the data come from?
Daily NAVs and published returns from AMFI; scheme details from Scheme Summary Documents. Full methodology is on the MFIC Intelligence methodology section.
