1 day to 1 year show the total change from the last close on or before the start of each period. 3, 5 and 10 years show the compounded return per year. Global and alternatives are in US dollars, through the ETF that tracks each market, with dividends reinvested. Indian indices are in rupees; the Nifty 50, 500, Midcap 150, Smallcap 250 and Bank values here are total return indices, which add back dividends. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
Questions
How current are these numbers?
Each row shows the date of its last close. Indian index values come from PulseLabs and world market, gold, silver and bitcoin prices from Financial Modeling Prep, both end of day. The page checks for new closes several times a day. When a market's newest data is more than four days old, its section says so and shows the date of the latest data we have.
Why are world markets shown through ETFs?
Index providers license their index values separately. An ETF that tracks the index is a price anyone can trade, and its moves stay close to the index after the fund's small yearly fee. The prices are in US dollars, so for a market outside the US they include the currency move against the dollar.
Why do some cells say n/a?
A return needs a closing value close to the start of the period. If the data has a gap around that date, we leave the cell blank rather than measure from a different day.
What does a one week move tell a long term investor?
Not much about the next ten years. A broad index can rise or fall several percent in a week with no change in the companies it holds. The 3, 5 and 10 year columns show what the market has returned per year over longer stretches, and they include the bad years along the way. Sort by 5Y or 10Y to compare markets over a full cycle.
Why are Indian indices in rupees and the rest in US dollars?
Indian indices are shown as their own values in rupees. Everything else is measured through a US listed ETF, so its return is what a US dollar investor would have earned, currency included. For someone living in the UAE, whose dirham is pegged to the dollar, the dollar figures are close to their own experience.
