Worst-case entry
The unluckiest possible lumpsum: buy at the peak of , and you'd have watched it fall and waited just to break even. A monthly SIP would have softened this by buying through the fall; this is the lumpsum-at-the-top case.

Not shown, and why
Portfolio holdings, sector allocation, AUM, expense ratio and the fund manager are absent because no free machine-readable feed publishes them — SEBI mandates monthly disclosure, but each AMC posts its own spreadsheet. Rather than estimate them, this page shows only what AMFI's published NAV series can prove. The cost section derives the expense difference from Direct vs Regular NAVs instead.

Compared against the Nifty 50, the category-appropriate index — a small-cap fund judged against the large-cap Nifty 50 would look better than it is. Windows under 1 year are absolute; 1 year and beyond are annualised (CAGR). Only windows the fund has actually lived through are shown. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
Sharpe and Sortino assume a 6.5% risk-free rate (~Indian 1-year T-bill).
Both plans hold the identical portfolio, so the gap between their NAVs is the commission — measured here from the published NAV series, not quoted from a TER sheet. Compared against scheme 134545. Distributors provide advice for that fee; whether it's worth it is your call.
