Too new to rank on 3-month return (launched less than 3 months ago)
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 Long-Short SIFs work and what they involve, or consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser for personalised advice.
