The analysis of the information has been carried in good faith in-house by Sundaram BNP Paribas Asset Management. The comparison does not take account into scheme-specific features such as specific asset allocation pattern, specific cap-curve or thematic orientation, entry/exit loads, expenses and fees and respective benchmarks for each fund considered for analysis. Attributes such as style and portfolio composition may also differ though the funds invest predominantly in equity and this latter aspect provides a common thread for creating a sub-category of comparable funds. Past performance may or may not be sustained in future. Past performance does not guarantee future result. Peer set excel comparison for each sub-category is also available at www.sundarambnpparibas.in
