How to use these numbers
- • Compare returns within the same category (Short Duration) — comparing a short duration fund to a different mandate isn't like-for-like.
- • Weight the longest period you can. One strong year can flatter a fund; three- and five-year figures show more.
- • The growth curve and calendar-year rows are the same NAV history, read two ways — a smooth trailing view and the year-by-year swings behind it.
- • These are facts, not a recommendation. Nothing here says buy, hold or sell Union Short Term Fund.
