Benchmarks:

Discipline is critical for managing funds over a longer tenure. We have, therefore, set different benchmarks for our funds, closely monitoring their performance against these benchmarks to ensure consistent returns over the long-term. Our aim is to provide higher returns than the benchmarks. On the fixed income segment, we have delegated CRISIL to design composite benchmark indices, reflective of the asset allocations of all our funds. These benchmarks are usually composite indices compiled by CRISIL and include the CRISIL Composite Bond Fund Index, CRISIL Liquid Fund Index. In case of equity segment, the CNX Nifty Index is the key performance benchmark for most funds
