| Window | SIPs compared | Fund ahead | Median gap | Worst gap | Best gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-year SIPs | 49 | 90% | +1.4 pp | -0.9 ppstarted Apr 2021 | +4.3 ppstarted Sep 2023 |

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 500 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 (Oct 2019 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).

Where does this data come from?
Daily NAVs published by AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India). We take the first NAV of each month as the SIP date and value units at the latest NAV. Updated monthly.
How these numbers are calculated
NAVs are AMFI's official daily NAVs (Growth option). Instalments fall on the first business day of each month; stamp duty (0.005%) and exit loads are ignored. Returns are XIRR on actual dates. Tax: 12.5% LTCG above ₹1.25 lakh on units held over a year, 20% STCG on the rest, and Section 112A grandfathering at the 31-Jan-2018 NAV for older units. ELSS units are locked in for 3 years from each instalment, so recent instalments can't actually be redeemed today. Full method: methodology.
