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. But 56 months of history is too little to tell whether the date matters at all.
Why the 2nd
- Highest return of all 28 dates35.353%
Full-history XIRR, 0.17 pp above the middle of the month (35.188%).
- How far apart the 28 dates are0.39 pp
From the 13th (34.964%) up to the 2nd. 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₹23,785
Between the highest- and lowest-value dates (the 4th and the 28th) on a notional ₹10,000 a month: 1.9% of the ₹12.5 lakh it grew to over 4.7 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.
A spread of 0.39 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 0.39 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.
A spread of 0.39 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.
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.
This fund is marked reduced confidence: 56 months of history leaves too few independent 3-year stretches for the numbers above to settle.
