How this ranking works
Funds are ranked by trailing return over the chosen period, highest first, using the same dates for every fund and ending on the latest NAV. A fund needs a full track record for the period to be ranked; newer funds are listed separately. Ties go to the smaller fall from peak. Returns are absolute, regular plan, growth option, from daily AMFI NAVs. Full methodology
A ranking is not a recommendation
Past returns over a few months say little about the future. Talk to a SIF specialist to understand how Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short SIFs work and what they involve, or consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser for personalised advice.
