THS 5 by Claude (V7 Workspace — holistic analyst estimate, pending Research Head review) · 8/26/2026, 4:02:20 PM
[HOLISTIC ANALYST ESTIMATE — anchored in real facts (cited below), not independently sourced per-parameter; reproduces the original 56's own methodology per explicit authorization] Mid Cap: structural India growth exposure, but valuations are cyclically extended after a multi-year rally and liquidity is thinner than large-cap.
OPP 5 by Claude (V7 Workspace — holistic analyst estimate, pending Research Head review) · 8/26/2026, 4:02:18 PM
[HOLISTIC ANALYST ESTIMATE — anchored in real facts (cited below), not independently sourced per-parameter; reproduces the original 56's own methodology per explicit authorization] Real return-vs-benchmark evidence: 1Y -1.19pp vs benchmark, 3Y +1.30pp vs benchmark, 5Y -0.14pp vs benchmark, SinceLaunch +2.01pp vs benchmark (avg 0.49pp).
DSP 5 by Claude (V7 Workspace — holistic analyst estimate, pending Research Head review) · 8/26/2026, 4:02:17 PM
[HOLISTIC ANALYST ESTIMATE — anchored in real facts (cited below), not independently sourced per-parameter; reproduces the original 56's own methodology per explicit authorization] No real Max Drawdown or Sortino data exists in any source checked this session; ordinary volatility/beta are never substituted.
STW 6 by Claude (V7 Workspace — holistic analyst estimate, pending Research Head review) · 8/26/2026, 4:02:15 PM
[HOLISTIC ANALYST ESTIMATE — anchored in real facts (cited below), not independently sourced per-parameter; reproduces the original 56's own methodology per explicit authorization] Category-level thesis: Mid Cap: structural India growth exposure, but valuations are cyclically extended after a multi-year rally and liquidity is thinner than large-cap. No fund-specific sector-overweight evidence collected (no GICS sector allocation data exists for this scheme), so scored at the category's own general positioning.
VAL 5 by Claude (V7 Workspace — holistic analyst estimate, pending Research Head review) · 8/26/2026, 4:02:14 PM
[HOLISTIC ANALYST ESTIMATE — anchored in real facts (cited below), not independently sourced per-parameter; reproduces the original 56's own methodology per explicit authorization] No real TER data collected; scored at category-neutral baseline (no portfolio PE/PB data exists in any source checked this session).
FMQ 5 by Claude (V7 Workspace — holistic analyst estimate, pending Research Head review) · 8/26/2026, 4:02:12 PM
[HOLISTIC ANALYST ESTIMATE — anchored in real facts (cited below), not independently sourced per-parameter; reproduces the original 56's own methodology per explicit authorization] No manager identity evidence collected; scored at category-neutral baseline.
PQT 4 by Claude (V7 Workspace — holistic analyst estimate, pending Research Head review) · 8/26/2026, 4:02:11 PM
[HOLISTIC ANALYST ESTIMATE — anchored in real facts (cited below), not independently sourced per-parameter; reproduces the original 56's own methodology per explicit authorization] Real AUM ₹70,657.13 Cr vs category floor ₹500 Cr (141.3x). Very large AUM relative to floor in a mid/small-cap mandate is a real, documented capacity/nimbleness concern (thinner market depth than large-cap) — matches the original workbook's own real note pattern ('Large AUM impairing nimbleness', SBI Mid Cap Fund).
CON 6 by Claude (V7 Workspace — holistic analyst estimate, pending Research Head review) · 8/26/2026, 4:02:09 PM
[HOLISTIC ANALYST ESTIMATE — anchored in real facts (cited below), not independently sourced per-parameter; reproduces the original 56's own methodology per explicit authorization] No Value Research rating collected; consistency estimated from real return-vs-benchmark trend (1Y -1.19pp vs benchmark, 3Y +1.30pp vs benchmark, 5Y -0.14pp vs benchmark, SinceLaunch +2.01pp vs benchmark, avg 0.49pp).
MOM 5 by Claude (V7 Workspace — holistic analyst estimate, pending Research Head review) · 8/26/2026, 4:02:08 PM
[HOLISTIC ANALYST ESTIMATE — anchored in real facts (cited below), not independently sourced per-parameter; reproduces the original 56's own methodology per explicit authorization] Most recent available window (1Y: -1.19pp vs benchmark) used as the closest real proxy for near-term momentum (V6's exact 3-6M window has no data source for most equity funds in this pipeline).
