Live Mutual Fund Dashboard
Indian Mutual Fund Research Made Simple
Mutual Fund research can quickly become confusing because the same fund strategy may appear under different plans and options. A single fund house can have Equity, Debt, Hybrid, ELSS, Index and other schemes, while each scheme can have separate Growth and IDCW options.
The StockRadiance Mutual Fund Dashboard brings these records into one research page. You can search a scheme, check its latest NAV, study historical returns and then open the detailed fund view. The dashboard is designed for readers who want the numbers first and a simple explanation around them.
What You Can Check on This Mutual Fund Dashboard
Why a Mutual Fund Screener Is Useful
A mutual fund screener helps reduce the time spent opening many individual scheme pages. Instead of starting with a long list of names, you can begin with a category, fund house, scheme type or historical performance period.
The StockRadiance dashboard currently shows thousands of scheme records. The live data displayed on the dashboard includes scheme search, categories and paginated fund records. This makes it easier to move from a broad Mutual Fund search to a specific scheme.
The live dashboard currently reports 38,122 schemes tracked, 8,763 active schemes and 42 fund categories. These figures are source-dependent and can change as the underlying data is updated.
Mutual Fund Categories You Should Know
Different mutual fund categories are designed around different investment objectives and portfolio structures. Category names should therefore be read before comparing two funds.
Equity Mutual Funds
Equity-oriented categories include Large Cap, Large & Mid Cap, Mid Cap, Small Cap, Multi Cap, Flexi Cap, Value, Contra, Focused, ELSS, Dividend Yield and thematic or sector-oriented funds.
Equity funds can experience significant price movement because the underlying portfolio is linked to equity markets. The investment horizon and risk level should therefore be considered alongside historical returns.
Debt Mutual Funds
Debt categories include Liquid, Money Market, Banking and PSU Debt, Corporate Bond, Gilt, Short Term, Medium Term and Medium to Long Term funds.
Debt funds are not identical. Interest-rate sensitivity, credit quality, maturity profile and category structure can make their behaviour different even when their recent returns appear similar.
Hybrid Mutual Funds
Hybrid schemes combine different asset classes. Examples include Aggressive Hybrid, Conservative Hybrid and Dynamic Asset Allocation categories. The actual portfolio structure should always be checked before comparing a hybrid fund with a pure equity or debt scheme.
ELSS and Tax-Saving Funds
ELSS funds are equity-oriented tax-saving schemes. When researching an ELSS Mutual Fund, do not look only at the latest return. Check the investment objective, portfolio, risk level, costs and the applicable tax rules before making a decision.
Direct vs Regular Mutual Fund Plans
A common source of confusion is seeing the same fund name more than once. This can happen because the fund has different plans or options.
Direct Plan
A Direct plan is purchased directly from the mutual fund provider or an eligible direct platform without a distributor commission structure.
Regular Plan
A Regular plan is generally distributed through intermediaries. The expense structure can therefore differ from the Direct version of the same scheme.
When comparing two schemes, make sure you are comparing the same plan type. Comparing a Direct Growth record with a Regular IDCW record can produce a misleading conclusion.
Growth vs IDCW Options Explained Simply
Growth and IDCW are different options within mutual fund schemes. A Growth option generally retains gains within the scheme, while an IDCW option may make distributions subject to the applicable scheme rules and available distributable surplus.
The NAV of Growth and IDCW options can look very different. That does not mean the underlying fund strategy is necessarily different. Always check the complete scheme name and option before comparing NAV values.
How to Read Mutual Fund Returns
One of the most useful parts of a Mutual Fund dashboard is the ability to see different time periods together. A one-month return can tell you about recent movement, while a three-year or five-year record gives a broader historical view.
For example, a fund may show a small negative return over one month but remain positive over three or five years. Looking at only one period can therefore give an incomplete picture.
1-Year Return
Useful for understanding relatively recent performance, but still short enough to be affected by one particular market cycle.
3-Year Return
Gives a broader historical window and can help readers understand how the scheme behaved through more than one market phase.
5-Year Return
A longer historical period that can be useful when researching long-term investment behaviour. It should still be considered with category, risk and portfolio information.
Past performance is historical information. It should not be treated as a promise of future returns.
Using a SIP Calculator With Mutual Fund Research
A SIP calculator is useful when you want to understand how regular monthly investments could grow under an assumed rate of return. The calculation is mathematical and the result is only an illustration.
For example, changing the monthly SIP amount, expected annual return or investment period can significantly change the estimated future value. This is why the SIP calculator should be used for planning rather than as a return guarantee.
How to Compare Two Mutual Funds
Comparing two funds is more useful when both schemes are similar in purpose. A Large Cap fund and a Liquid fund should not be compared simply because both have a return percentage.
Check These Points Before Comparing
- Same or comparable mutual fund category.
- Direct vs Regular plan.
- Growth vs IDCW option.
- 1-year, 3-year and 5-year historical returns.
- Portfolio composition and investment objective.
- Expense ratio and other applicable costs.
- Risk level and investment horizon.
- Fund house and scheme documents.
The StockRadiance dashboard also provides a Fund Compare area where users can enter scheme codes and view the available NAV and historical return information side by side.

Official Mutual Fund & Market Sources
Mutual fund research should not depend on a single website. Before making an investment decision, readers can cross-check scheme information, disclosures and investor education material with official sources.
AMFI's investor section provides mutual fund education, scheme information and investor resources, while SEBI provides regulatory filings and registered intermediary information. NSE also publishes information related to index funds and ETFs.
Where the Mutual Fund NAV Data Comes From
The live dashboard uses an AMFI-registered scheme and NAV dataset delivered through the underlying mutual fund data service. The dashboard keeps server-side caches so that the public page does not need to request every historical record on every visit.
The data structure includes scheme names, fund houses, categories, scheme codes, NAV records and historical dates. Because mutual fund records can change over time, readers should always verify the latest scheme documents and official disclosures before investing.
The dashboard does not create artificial Yahoo Finance tickers for Indian mutual funds. The scheme code is used as the primary identifier for mutual fund research.
A Simple Daily Mutual Fund Research Routine
Step 1 – Search the Exact Scheme
Start with the full scheme name or fund house. Avoid selecting a result only because its name looks familiar.
Step 2 – Check the Latest NAV Date
Confirm the date attached to the NAV before comparing it with another scheme.
Step 3 – Check the Plan and Option
Make sure you know whether the record is Direct or Regular and Growth or IDCW.
Step 4 – Study Multiple Periods
Look at 1-year, 3-year and 5-year performance rather than focusing only on the latest movement.
Step 5 – Read the Scheme Information
Review the objective, portfolio, risk, expense ratio and other official scheme information before making an investment decision.
Common Mutual Fund Research Mistakes
- Choosing a fund only because its recent return is high.
- Comparing NAV values between unrelated schemes.
- Ignoring the difference between Direct and Regular plans.
- Mixing Growth and IDCW options while comparing performance.
- Looking at one short period and ignoring longer history.
- Ignoring expense ratio and other scheme costs.
- Using historical performance as a guarantee of future returns.
- Making a decision without reading official scheme documents.
