Full history SIP
+9.38%
Periods up to one year are absolute; longer periods are annualised (CAGR). SIP figures are the XIRR of a fixed monthly instalment over the same window. — means this scheme’s NAV history does not cover that period — across all 1648 schemes, 68% have a 3-year figure, 48.8% a 5-year one, and 32.7% a 10-year one.

Volatility is the annualised standard deviation of daily NAV moves over the last three years; max drawdown is the deepest peak-to-trough fall in that same window. Where a scheme has less than three years of NAV, the window is what it actually has and is labelled as such — never as three years. Sharpe is as disclosed in the scheme key-ratio feed (as at 24 July 2026).

Not shown on this page, and why
Star rating — GFS is an AMFI-registered distributor (ARN-169480), not a SEBI-registered investment adviser. It does not rate schemes.
Scheme AUM — Scheme-level AUM is not in the source; only AMC-total AUM, which is a different number.
Stock-level holdings — Stock-level holdings are carried for 1070 of the 1648 schemes here, from the fund houses' own monthly portfolio disclosures as at 31 Jul 2026. The rest are blank for one of two reasons: their fund house has not been ingested (9 of 50 houses), or the disclosure did not pass the checks this dataset applies before publishing a portfolio under a scheme's name — it did not reconcile to the total the AMC itself states, its weights did not add up, its largest rows carried a category label instead of a security name, or two disclosed schemes both claimed the same catalogue row.
Minimum SIP — Not present in the source.
Beta and alpha — No benchmark series in the source.
