The list above is stocks and fund units. Treasury bills, repo and money-market lines roll over every month by design — they are not decisions, so they are totalled here rather than listed as activity.

A ₹10,000 monthly SIP over five years

InvestedValueGainXIRR

XIRR, not CAGR — a SIP's money arrives over sixty months, so each instalment has been invested for a different length of time.
