About Arthkar

We're an independent mutual fund research site built for Indian investors. We don't sell funds, we don't take commission from AMCs, and we don't give investment advice. The site is free — that independence is the whole point.

Why we exist

Other sites show numbers. We tell you what they mean. Every fund page on this site explains what the fund actually does, when it underperforms, and who it's wrong for — in plain English, not jargon.

Where our data comes from

• • AMFI India — daily NAV file (official, regulator-recognised industry body)
• • mfapi.in — historical NAV (free community API)
• • SEBI categorisation — official 2017 circular taxonomy
• • AMC factsheets — monthly disclosures (publicly available)

Every score and chart on this site is computed by our own code from this raw data — the full methodology is public, including its limitations.

How we stay independent

Arthkar is free to use. We don't sell funds and take no commission from AMCs on what you invest in — so nothing on this site is steered by who pays us. It's research, not a sales funnel.

This means we have zero incentive to push any particular fund. Our content can be honest about which funds are bad — because we don't lose anything when you skip them.
