Need some help on the Compare Returns Chart

I am comparing two assets; both are in Indian Rupees. The main asset is a Kotak private investment fund (the red line), the other is an account holding equity mutual funds (gray line). The main asset has data from July 17 onwards.

If you look at the left side of the chart, there are these strange spikes and corresponding tooltip values. Obviously Equity Mutual Funds was not up 91.9% in just 4 days, neither was Kotak up 45.64% in that period.

Is this a bug or is there something I am not understanding?

The other odd thing is that the Kotak fund shows a spike from 0 to its initial market value.

The fund was purchased on July 18 as you can see from the transactions, but the chart starts from July 17, which it really should not.

Judging by the timeline you have enabled always annualizing returns. In such case, it does make sense to do 95% in 4 days (as the 4 day’s returns is extrapolated to a whole year). Just change it to Auto. Click “Set as project defaults” as well if you want.

If you select “max”, the chart will start from the day before, so it will always start at 0 - this way you clearly know you have the full history

OK. That makes sense. Looking much better now.

I have another question. I have my accounts nested. It is like Zerodha and within that I have Equity Mutual Funds, Debt Mutual Funds, and Arbitrage Mutual Funds. I don’t seem to be able to compare against Zerodha, i.e. the parent level.

Currently the only way to use an account folder as a benchmark is create a filter, as you can use any filter as a benchmark. The filter would be Account folder includes Zerodha.
Once you save it, you can search for it on the benchmarks list.
