Frequently Asked questions
How fund report card works
Identifying a top performing fund that consistently creates wealth can be a challenging task due to the dynamic nature of the market. Top funds often change frequently, sometimes even on a daily basis.
However, with ET Money's fund report card, it is now possible to find a fund that consistently ranks at the top and generates wealth over a long period of time. This valuable resource makes it easier to navigate the complex and constantly changing world of financial markets.
At ET Money, we have developed a smart ranking system for funds based on their consistency. We believe that consistently performing at the top of a category is more important than just occasionally ranking highly. To evaluate the consistency of a fund, we have identified two key parameters: "consistency of returns" and "protection from volatility." We assess these parameters by analyzing the strong performance and low volatility of a fund over a prolonged period of time. To arrive at a rating for these parameters, we carefully consider the track record of a fund in terms of both performance and volatility.
In our ranking methodology, we prioritize funds that consistently perform well over those that fluctuate in their performance. To ensure stability in our rankings, we analyzed data for a minimum of five years, rather than just a year or two. We also placed a greater emphasis on recent performance, as it tends to have a greater impact on momentum. This allows us to capture the full potential of recent momentum in our rankings.

What is the AUM or size of Union Focused Fund?
AUM or Asset Under Management is the total value of the assets held by a Mutual Fund scheme. For instance, for an equity Mutual Fund, the AUM will be the total value of its portfolio's equity shares (plus any other asset it might have invested in). The AUM of the fund changes every day because the price of the underlying asset fluctuates daily. However, the Mutual Fund company doesn't update it every day. It is updated only at the end of the month and released within few days of the next month.
The AUM of the fund is a good indicator of its popularity. A fund with a high AUM means a lot of money has been invested in it, and investors like it. However, the AUM should never be the primary criteria while selecting a fund. There are funds with huge AUMs that continue to perform well despite their size.
