What are rolling returns of a mutual fund?
Rolling returns are all of the returns that the fund gave for a particular investment period. If, for example, we wish to understand how much returns the fund usually gave for a 10Y lump sum investment, we can list down in a table or chart returns like this:
- invested on 1st Jan 2006 and sold on 1st Jan 2016 after 10 years and got a return of X%
- invested on 2nd Jan 2006 and sold on 2nd Jan 2016 after 10 years and got a return of Y%
- invested on 3rd Jan 2006 and sold on 3rd Jan 2016 after 10 years and got a return of Z%
and so on. This sequence of returns [X,Y,Z] is a time series like this:
| Ending date | Type | Return |
|---|---|---|
| 01-Jan-16 | 10Y lump sum | X% |
| 02-Jan-16 | 10Y lump sum | Y% |
| 03-Jan-16 | 10Y lump sum | Z% |
With this time-series, you can plot a graph, calculate metrics like average, max, min, median etc.
For example, we have calculated metrics like
- average = (X+Y+Z)/3 etc. (called mean)
- standard deviation = square root of the average of (X-mean)^2,(Y-mean)^2,(Z-mean)^2
- median = middle value of the sorted set X,Y,Z (gives a “truer” average by avoiding extreme values)
- max and min = extreme values of the set
- return per unit risk = AVERAGE/standard deviation
- Sharpe Ratio = (average - 7%)/standard deviation, assuming 7% is the risk-free rate that you will anyway get from safe investments

In this article, we will show the rolling metrics of various mutual funds:
- investment period: 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 5Y, etc.
- type: lump sum, SIP (fixed), SIP (10% step-up)
- data since: 1st Jan 2013 (this is the date when direct funds were launched in India)
- categories: equity, debt, and hybrid
- only DIRECT and GROWTH plans
- all mutual funds active on the publishing date as per AMFI data and classification
What should you keep in mind when using this data for analysis purpose?
- The reader is expected to draw their own conclusions from the data
- There is no implication of the data being complete, accurate or timely
- This data is provided as-is without any warranties, implied or otherwise
- The data, when calculating statistical measures like average, excludes data points above and below 2 standard-deviations from the mean. This means that both maximum and minimum numbers are higher in real life than in this data-set while retaining around 95% of the actual numbers
