This edition of the fund performance report looks at Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund. In Oct 2016, this fund stopped lump sum investments after its AUM swelled past 11,000 Crores. Investments were possible only via SIPs or STPs up to Rs. 2500 monthly. In early October 2023, the fund house increased the SIP limit to Rs. 25,000.
It started out as a mid cap fund but had to increase large cap stock allocation due to an AUM increase. After the SEB MF categorization rules kicked in, it became a large and mid cap fund. It has always been a mystery to me (and possibly others) why this fund has investment restrictions and not other funds in its category.

1 Rolling return outperformance consistency: the fund returns are compared with category benchmark returns over every possible 3Y,4Y, and 5Y period from 1st Jan 2013. The higher the outperformance consistency, the better. Suppose 876 fund returns were compared with 876 benchmark returns, and the fund has beaten the benchmark 675 times. The consistency score will be 675/876 ~ 0.77 or 77%. A score of 1 means 100%.

It is computed from rolling upside capture data (see link below).
