Up capture	Down capture	Correlation	Tracking error	Information ratio	Treynor
35%	45%	0.88	10.9%	-0.87	-8.56

Up capture is how much of the benchmark's gain this scheme kept in the months the benchmark rose; down capture, how much of its fall it took. Below 100 on the down side and above it on the up side is the combination every fund is trying for and few reach. Measured over the 82 months this scheme and Nifty 100 share.

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

Invested	Value	Gain	XIRR
₹600,000	₹605,027	₹5,027	0.33%

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