Four checks. A clearer picture.
01The date+
Which period does the figure describe?
An event date, publication date and data cutoff can differ. A monthly holdings snapshot is not a live portfolio, and a preview is not a reported result.
02The comparison+
Are the measures answering the same question?
Match the plan, period, units and relevant benchmark. A daily price, quarterly average and annual forecast should not be treated as interchangeable observations.
03The source+
Can you follow the claim to its evidence?
Use official notices, filings and scheme documents for the facts they establish. News reporting and research context should be identified rather than presented as a primary document.
04The limits+
What would this number fail to tell you?
A forecast is uncertain; an illustration is hypothetical; a historical return is not a promise. Read the assumptions before making the example about your own portfolio.
Mutual fund research: common questions, clear answers
What can I learn from MF Analyser’s articles?
The articles explain mutual fund mandates, risk, portfolio exposure and dated market developments. They combine supporting sources with clearly labelled worked examples. Use the learning guides for the underlying method, and the research tools to examine actual funds or your portfolio. Educational explanations are not personalised investment recommendations.
How do I check overlap between two mutual funds?
Compare the securities in each fund’s dated portfolio and their percentage weights. A weighted comparison shows duplicated exposure more usefully than counting common stock names. Our overlap guide explains the method, while the compare tool lets you examine available funds. Disclosure dates and missing data must be considered.
Why are rolling returns useful alongside CAGR?
One CAGR depends on a single start date and end date. Rolling returns repeat the calculation across multiple available windows to show how outcomes differed with timing. They remain historical measurements. Compare consistent plans, periods, costs and benchmarks, and use XIRR when measuring your own multiple dated cash flows.
How should a market headline affect my fund research?
Start by checking whether the portfolio holds the affected businesses or instruments and how much exposure they represent. Distinguish proposals, operative rules, forecasts and reported results. A market development can have different effects across holdings; a headline alone does not establish that you should change your investment allocation.
Are the charts and calculator showing guaranteed investment returns?
No. Each article should distinguish reported data from illustrative calculations. The SIP calculator uses regular month-end deposits and a constant assumed annual return, excluding fees, tax and inflation. Examples explain arithmetic; they do not forecast the future value of a mutual fund or your portfolio.
Where can I verify a claim or request a correction?
Use the article’s dated source links and the stated calculation inputs. The editorial standards page explains responsibility, AI assistance and update notes. If you find an error, contact MF Analyser support with the article URL, the disputed statement and a supporting source. Avoid sending personal financial details.
