Across rising, flat and falling markets this fund tracked its category closely — +0.5% ahead at best, -0.4% behind at worst.
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.

What the fund aims to do
To generate reasonable returns by creating a portfolio comprising substantially of floating rate debt instruments, fixed rate debt instruments swapped for floating rate returns, and also fixed rate instruments, short term bonds and money market instruments. This shall be done in concurrence with the objective of keeping the interest rate risk of the fund low. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be realized.
