Higher than todayLower than todayTodayBest dayNot a SIP date

Each SIP date shows its full-history XIRR. Green dates were higher than today’s date; red dates were lower. Weakest to strongest across all 28 is 0.19 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.

The 25th

Thin edge

The 25th had the highest full-history XIRR for this fund. The same dates kept doing well across the history, but by very little: 0.15 pp above the middle of the month.

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.

For a notional ₹10,000 monthly SIP, the highest- and lowest-value dates (the 1st and 28th) ended ₹1,06,471 apart on ₹15.4 lakh invested, 1.8% of the ₹58.2 lakh it grew to, over 12.8 years.

The highest and lowest XIRR were on the 25th and the 8th.

What to keep in mind

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.
