What it is
Every scheme carries a riskometer with one of six levels: Low, Low to Moderate, Moderate, Moderately High, High and Very High. Fund houses review it monthly using SEBI's scoring of the portfolio's market-cap, liquidity, credit and interest-rate risk. The benchmark has its own riskometer too.
In MFIC
MFIC shows the current riskometer of the scheme and of its benchmark from AMFI's data, the riskometer at launch from the Scheme Summary Document, and records changes from October 2026 onwards. In the screener, “riskometer below 6” uses levels 1 (Low) to 6 (Very High).
Limitations
It is a label of potential risk, not a forecast or a measure of past volatility; MFIC's volatility and drawdown figures describe what actually happened.
