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.
