Best SIP day: the 2nd.
Best SIP day for this fund
The 2nd
Thin edgeThe 2nd had the highest full-history XIRR for this fund. The 28 dates sit close enough together that the difference between them is noise rather than a date effect.
Why the 2nd
- Highest return of all 28 dates7.063%
Full-history XIRR, <0.01 pp above the middle of the month (7.060%).
- How far apart the 28 dates are0.01 pp
From the 1st (7.054%) up to the 2nd. Narrower than the 0.25 pp a date effect needs, though the order of dates held (0.64).
- What the spread is worth₹14,628
Between the highest- and lowest-value dates (the 1st and the 28th) on a notional ₹10,000 a month: 0.5% of the ₹27.5 lakh it grew to over 13.8 years.
Missing one instalment costs more than picking this date over a typical one.
The date with the highest XIRR and the date with the highest final value differ here, which points to noise.

Each SIP date shows its full-history XIRR. Dates shaded as “higher than today” beat today’s date; the other shade fell short. Weakest to strongest across all 28 is 0.01 pp, and the deeper the fill, the further from today’s figure that date sat. Tap a date (1–28) to compare it with the named day; that does not change the answer.

What to keep in mind
The date with the highest XIRR and the date with the highest final value differ here, which points to noise.
The date with the highest return and the date that ended with the most money are not the same date here. When two measures of the same question disagree, the difference between the dates is noise.
