Sample output

Two funds, side by side

Trailing and rolling returns, volatility, Sharpe, max drawdown, a lump-sum-plus-SIP backtest, and the correlation between the two funds — so you see not just which led, but whether holding both actually diversifies or just doubles the same bet.

Illustrative result with sample data — run it on a real fund after signing up.

What it does

Every metric that matters, in one view

Returns and risk together

Compare trailing returns alongside volatility, Sharpe and drawdown so you weigh reward against risk.

Rolling returns

Rolling windows show consistency over time rather than a single point-to-point number.

Correlation

See how closely the two funds move together — a quick read on whether they truly diversify each other.

How it works

Three steps to a complete comparison

1

Choose two funds

Search and select the pair you want to compare.

2

We align their histories

We compute returns, risk and rolling windows over the overlapping NAV period and backtest a lump sum plus SIP.

3

Compare on the metrics that matter

Read the side-by-side table, the backtest, and the correlation to see where each fund leads.

FAQ

Common questions

How should I compare two mutual funds?+

Look beyond point-to-point returns: (1) rolling returns over 1Y/3Y for consistency, (2) risk-adjusted returns via Sharpe, (3) maximum drawdown for downside risk, (4) rolling volatility for stability, and (5) correlation — if two funds move together, holding both adds little diversification.

What is the Sharpe ratio?+

Return per unit of risk: (fund return − risk-free rate) ÷ volatility. Higher is better. In India the risk-free rate is usually the ~91-day T-bill (around 6.5%). Above 1.0 is generally considered good; above 2.0 is excellent.

Why are rolling returns better than CAGR for comparison?+

CAGR is point-to-point and very sensitive to the start and end dates. Rolling returns measure every window of a given length across the history, showing how consistently a fund performs — not just how one lucky stretch looked.

What does correlation between two funds mean?+

It ranges from −1 to +1 and measures how similarly two funds move. Near +1 they move in lockstep (little diversification benefit); near 0 they move independently; negative means they offset. Two large-caps from different AMCs often sit above 0.9 — nearly identical.

Should I hold both funds if one looks better on paper?+

Not necessarily. A fund that leads on one metric may lag on others, and if two funds are highly correlated (above ~0.85) holding both just doubles the same exposure. Diversification usually comes from a genuinely different category, not a near-twin.
