How Mutual-fund factsheet works

Different fields can have different cut-off dates, and factsheets are produced by the fund house rather than as independent ratings. Comparisons require the same plan, return period, benchmark convention and data date.

An example

A September factsheet may show holdings as of 30 September while a displayed NAV or expense ratio carries another date; each date must travel with its number.

Why it matters for your family

Factsheets help families monitor whether a mandate or concentration changed, but historical returns and polished charts should not become a forecast or a buy decision by themselves.
