Advanced Ratios

Computed over the last 12 months (368 days, 248 aligned NAV points) of this fund's own real daily NAV against the Nifty 50, using India's 10-year G-Sec yield (6.8%) as the risk-free rate. This is a shorter window than most competitor sites use (typically 3-5 years), so Sharpe and Sortino can look quite different when recent returns have been weak: we'd rather show the window than hide it.
