Compare up to four Indian mutual fund snapshots across mandate, benchmark, AUM, expense ratio, historical returns, rolling-return evidence and portfolio availability.
MFAPI live NAVDated AMC evidenceBrowser-only inputs
Comparison becomes useful only after the rows mean the same thing. Category, plan, benchmark, measurement period and disclosure date are shown together so a 5-year return is not silently compared with a live NAV or another mandate.
Method, not magic
The cost-drag model holds starting capital and gross return constant, then compounds after the stated TER. This isolates one variable. It does not assume that two managers, categories or indices will earn the same gross return.
Regular and direct plans can share a portfolio but do not share the same cost or return series.
A liquid, debt, flexi-cap and small-cap fund perform different portfolio jobs.
Tax, exit load, transaction timing and investor cash flows are outside the cost-only illustration.
Evidence architecture
One tool. Several clocks.
A live badge applies only to the field fetched live. It never upgrades a June portfolio or factsheet statistic into an August value.

Scheme mandate, TER, AUM, portfolio holdings, published returns and risk statistics on their stated dates.

Tools diagnose a question. Guides explain the structure. Cases show what happened when the structure met a real market.
For any transaction, verify the latest scheme document, factsheet, portfolio, NAV and tax position directly with the AMC, AMFI and applicable regulator.
Yes, but the comparison should explain the different jobs. A liquid fund, flexi-cap fund and small-cap fund do not share the same return engine or loss path.
What is the cost-drag illustration?
It compounds the same gross return after different annual cost assumptions. It isolates the arithmetic of cost; it does not forecast either fund's return.
Why does the page not pick a winner?
A fund can show a higher historical return and a larger loss path. The investor still needs a mandate fit, evidence quality and a plan for bad periods.
