Mutual Fund Return Calculation Methods

Absolute Returns

Simple return over investment period

Formula: ((Current Value - Invested) ÷ Invested) × 100
Example: Invested ₹1L, Current ₹1.5L
Return = ((1.5L-1L)/1L)×100 = 50%
  • Best For: Single lumpsum investment
  • Holding Period: Less than 1 year
  • Limitation: Doesn't account for time value
CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate)

Annualized return accounting for compounding

Formula: (Current Value / Invested)^(1/n) - 1
Example: ₹1L → ₹1.5L in 3 years
CAGR = (1.5/1)^(1/3) - 1 = 14.47%
  • Best For: Long-term investments (>1 year)
  • Advantage: Accounts for compounding effect
  • Use Case: Compare different funds fairly
XIRR (Extended Internal Rate of Return)

Most accurate for multiple cash flows

Used For:
• SIP investments (multiple dates)
• STP/SWP transactions
• Multiple purchases/redemptions
• Irregular cash flows
  • Most Accurate: Considers exact investment dates
  • Excel Formula: =XIRR(values, dates)
  • Industry Standard: SEBI mandated for MF returns
Point-to-Point Returns

Returns between two specific dates

  • Purpose: Check fund performance in specific period
  • Example: "How did my fund perform in 2023?"
  • Use Case: Compare fund vs benchmark
  • Limitation: Short-term volatility may distort
