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 0.21 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 13th

Noise

The 13th had the highest full-history XIRR for this fund. But 49 months of history is too little to tell whether the date matters at all.

Missing one instalment costs more than picking this date over a typical one.

For a notional ₹10,000 monthly SIP, the highest- and lowest-value dates (the 1st and 27th) ended ₹3,302 apart on ₹4.9 lakh invested, 0.6% of the ₹5.6 lakh it grew to, over 4.1 years.

The highest and lowest XIRR were on the 13th and the 5th.

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.

This fund is marked reduced confidence: 49 months of history leaves too few independent 3-year stretches for the numbers above to settle.
