What counts as a rising, flat or falling market?
Every month of the last 10 years is labelled from the NIFTY 500's month-end close, before any fund is looked at. Falling means the index sat 8% or more below its own running peak. Rising means it was above its 10-month average and within 5% of that peak. Flat is everything in between.
Return a yearis what this fund's own NAV did over just those months, compounded — not averaged. vs similar funds is the same figure for the median fund in its SEBI category over the very same months, so both sides face the identical market.
The falling spells measured here: Sep '18 (-12%), Jan '19 (-10%), Jul '19 (-9%), Mar '20 (-32%), Feb '23 (-9%), Jan '25 (-18%).
Which state a month was in is only knowable afterwards, so this describes what already happened and does not forecast what comes next.
