Rolling returns

Window	Avg	Median	Min	Max	% Pos	% >12
1Y	19.75	12.79	-9.06	54.19	85%	51%
3Y	20.35	21.09	9.36	30.03	100%	94%

Each row takes every possible start date in the fund's history and computes the annualised return (CAGR) over that window. Avg/Median = the typical outcome; Min/Max = worst and best; % Pos = how often the window ended positive; % >12 = how often it beat 12% a year. Higher consistency means timing mattered less.

Frequently asked questions

What does HDFC Multi Cap Fund invest in?

It invests primarily in companies across large, mid and small market capitalisations.

How is this fund classified?

How often is the NAV updated?
