Reason for Difference in Moneycontrol Mutual Fund Numbers

I wrote about how the mutual fund return numbers from Moneycontrol were a bit different from those of Value Research and Morningstar yesterday, and that I wasn’t sure why that’s the case.

Invest Mutual who had helped with the post yesterday, researched some more and found that it was just because of different dates. He looked at the 1 year returns and found that and then I fiddled a little bit with moving a day back or a day forward and found that the difference of a day or two has caused this variance between the two sites.

Here is the table that shows the data.
