Best SIP day: the 26th.
Best SIP day for this fund
The 26th
Thin edgeThe 26th had the highest full-history XIRR for this fund. But 59 months of history is too little to tell whether the date matters at all.
Why the 26th
- Highest return of all 28 dates14.208%
Full-history XIRR, 0.41 pp above the middle of the month (13.801%).
- How far apart the 28 dates are0.59 pp
From the 10th (13.615%) up to the 26th. Wider than the 0.25 pp a date effect needs, but the order of dates didn't hold (-0.21, needs 0.6).
- What the spread is worth₹7,082
Between the highest- and lowest-value dates (the 26th and the 10th) on a notional ₹10,000 a month: 0.9% of the ₹8.3 lakh it grew to over 4.9 years.
Missing one instalment costs more than picking this date over a typical one.
A spread of 0.59 pp is hard to tell apart from the noise a history this short produces, so this verdict reflects the length of the history as much as the fund.

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 0.59 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
A spread of 0.59 pp is hard to tell apart from the noise a history this short produces, so this verdict reflects the length of the history as much as the fund.
This fund is marked reduced confidence: 59 months of history leaves too few independent 3-year stretches for the numbers above to settle.
