Each month, I publish equity mutual fund lump sum and SIP returns; upside capture, downside capture and capture ratios over 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 year periods. This can be used as a screener to quickly select mutual funds. This time the period considered is from April 3rd 2006 to Feb 28th 2017. Pranav Date wrote a code to match the Value Research fund name and category with appropriate AMFI scheme code. This is a crucial step as it would be very difficult to manually do this for 414 equity funds.

UTI Equity Fund in your Screener is classified as EQ-MLC but Value Research classifies it as EQ-LC. I think they reclassify the funds on a monthly basis when they update the fund portfolio. To avoid discrepancies/confusion, please publish your Screener only when their reclassification is complete.
Thank you. I shall use the latest category listings each month.
HI Dear Pattu Sir,
I am very new to this Mutual fund space and have been reading your blogs since last few months. Excellent work and details provided by you for the beginners. Thanks
While going thru excel sheet for mutual fund screener, I was trying to match data with annual returns in VRO site for “Franklin India High Growth Companies Fund”. But could not match it with SIP returns or lumps returns in your excel. Can I pls. request you to explain little bit on this two sets of data, how is it derived.
Thanks again
