Did SBI PSU Fund beat a plain Nifty 50 index fund?
We ran the same monthly SIP on the same dates in SBI PSU Fund and in UTI Nifty 50 Index Fund (Direct plans) — every 5-year SIP that could start between Jan 2013 and Oct 2021, 106 in all. SBI PSU Fund finished ahead in 48 of 106 (45%) — roughly a coin toss. The median gap was -3.2 percentage points a year; the worst -16.1 (started Feb 2016), the best +24.7 (started Jun 2019).
A ₹10,000 monthly SIP over the last 5 years (Nov 2021 onward) is worth ₹9.32 L in SBI PSU Fund (XIRR 18.2%) against ₹6.61 L in the index fund (XIRR 3.9%) — ₹2,70,970 more in the active fund.
XIRR of every 5-year monthly SIP, by the month it started. Gap = fund XIRR minus index fund XIRR, in percentage points a year.
| Window | SIPs compared | Fund ahead | Median gap | Worst gap | Best gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-year SIPs | 130 | 52% | +0.8 pp | -18.7 ppstarted Nov 2017 | +42.2 ppstarted Jun 2021 |
| 5-year SIPs | 106 | 45% | -3.2 pp | -16.1 ppstarted Feb 2016 | +24.7 ppstarted Jun 2019 |
The index fund's NAV already includes its own expense ratio and tracking error, so this is what you would actually have earned. The comparison uses the Nifty 50 index fund we match to this category, which may differ from the fund's official benchmark, and it can only cover months where both funds have NAVs (Jan 2013 to Oct 2026). Only funds that still exist are compared; merged or closed funds, often the weaker ones, drop out of AMFI's list, which flatters active funds as a group (how this comparison works).
Every SIP this fund has ever allowed: rolling returns
We started a 5-year SIP in every month the Regular plan's history allows — 135 separate SIPs. The worst returned -12.3% a year (started Apr 2015), the median 9.8%, the best 42.5%; 17% of them lost money. That spread is the honest answer to “what return should I expect?” — not a single trailing number.
