Trust & transparency

How MeraSIF is built.

Every figure on this site is real and traceable. This page documents exactly where each number comes from, how often it updates, the standard we hold ourselves to, and — just as importantly — what our data cannot yet tell you.

The one rule everything follows

We never publish a number we can't source.

The SIF category is new, and in a young market it is tempting to fill gaps with estimates. We don't. Every performance figure is computed from official data or attributed to a named source. Where a fund hasn't disclosed something yet — an AUM, an expense ratio — we show a dash, not a guess.

This is not just a style choice. Trustner is an AMFI-registered Mutual Fund & SIF distributor, and the same discipline that governs how we deal with clients governs what we publish: real, sourced, or clearly labelled — never fabricated.

Where every number comes from

Several kinds of data power the site. Each is sourced differently, and we label which is which.

How the site keeps itself current

MeraSIF updates on a schedule, automatically — not whenever someone remembers to. Five things run on their own:

Daily · ~6 AM IST
NAV engine
Fetches the day's official AMFI SIF NAVs and adds them to our archive, from which SEBI-format performance is built after each month-end.
Twice daily
News archive
Refreshes the SIF newsroom from public feeds, keeping a rolling, deduplicated archive of recent headlines.
Weekly · Monday
Industry update
Reviews the week's SIF developments and reconciles fund counts and timeline entries across the site.
Monthly · 15th
MeraSIF Monthly
Publishes a new edition of the newsletter — category data, launches, the regulatory record and one educational essay.
Continuous
New-fund detection
When a new SIF appears in AMFI's data, it's surfaced on the tracker automatically — no manual entry needed.

What we compute vs what we source

We compute past performance from our archive of official AMFI NAVs (Regular plan, Growth option), and only in the format SEBI sets for the scheme's age. A scheme under six months from allotment shows no performance. From six months to one year we show only the simple annualised return for the past six months, to the previous month-end. From one year we show CAGR to the previous month-end. We do not show 1-day, 5-day, 1-month or 3-month returns, we do not rank funds by return, and benchmark returns are not shown. Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.

We source the things only a data vendor or the fund house publishes: AUM, the riskometer band and the expense ratio. Every sourced figure carries its origin and its as-of date on the page, so you always know how fresh it is.

What our data can't tell you (yet)

Honesty about the gaps is part of the standard. Here is where the data stops.

  • The category is young. India's first SIFs launched only from late 2025, so no fund yet has a one-year — let alone a multi-year — track record. Short histories can flatter or punish a strategy, which is why SEBI's format shows nothing for a scheme's first six months.
  • Some funds haven't disclosed everything. The newest SIFs may not have published an AUM or expense ratio. We show "—" for those rather than fill them in.
  • Vendor data updates on its own schedule. AUM, risk band and TER come from Value Research and refresh when Value Research publishes, so they can trail the latest NAV. The as-of date is always shown.
  • Official NAVs can lag a day or two. AMFI occasionally publishes a fund's NAV with a short delay; we display the genuine as-of date rather than carry forward a stale one silently.
  • Risk bands are the AMC's, not ours. The 1–5 riskometer level is self-declared by each fund house under SEBI rules.
  • Holdings come only from official disclosures. SEBI requires SIFs to disclose portfolios periodically; we add holdings only when a fund actually publishes them.
