Understanding Mutual Fund Performance

Compare the performance of your mutual fund scheme with other schemes in the same segment to determine relative underperformance 

Analyzing Performance

Understand that various factors, such as market fluctuations, can cause a decline in the net asset value (NAV) of your fund

Reasons for Decline

Negative performance should persist for at least two consecutive years before considering a change in the scheme 

Timeframe of Underperformance

Investigate if there has been a change in the fund manager  If there have been no changes, check if the fund manager has communicated the reasons

Identifying the Cause 

Consider that poor returns may be temporary due to the investment policy of the scheme, such as value-based approaches 

Investment Policy Impact 

Evaluate all factors, including positive and negative situations faced by schemes, before deciding to withdraw your investment 

Comprehensive Evaluation 

3 to 5 years,  25-30%  5 to 7 years,  Upto 50%   More than 7 years, 70-80%
