Required perspective

Historical returns do not identify the most suitable fund for an investor and do not predict future performance. Compare category, benchmark, risk, portfolio, costs, exit load, taxation and scheme documents. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks; read all scheme-related documents carefully.

Returns Need
Context.

Use rolling returns, expense ratio and risk concepts to understand what a point-to-point historical return table does—and does not—tell you.
