Best SIP day: the 13th.
Best SIP day for this fund
The 13th
Thin edgeThe 13th had the highest full-history XIRR for this fund. But 38 months of history is too little to tell whether the date matters at all.
Why the 13th
- Highest return of all 28 dates14.117%
Full-history XIRR, 0.33 pp above the middle of the month (13.783%).
- How far apart the 28 dates are0.51 pp
From the 18th (13.608%) up to the 13th. Wider than the 0.25 pp a date effect needs, but the order of dates didn't hold (-0.12, needs 0.6).
- What the spread is worth₹4,785
Between the highest- and lowest-value dates (the 13th and the 23rd) on a notional ₹10,000 a month: 1.0% of the ₹4.7 lakh it grew to over 3.2 years.
Missing one instalment costs more than picking this date over a typical one.
A spread of 0.51 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 0.51 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 0.51 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: 38 months of history leaves too few independent 3-year stretches for the numbers above to settle.
