What ₹10,000 a month in this fund would have grown to over each period, based on its past returns.
| Over the past | Total investment | Would’ve become | Growth | Returns |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 months21.21% absolute | ₹60,000 | ₹72,726 | 21.21% |
Returns for 1 year and longer are annualised (CAGR); 6-month figures are absolute. Past returns are not a forecast.
How this is calculated

The amount compounds once a year at the fund’s CAGR for that period, the same formula as our lumpsum calculator.
