Shown in the video, not on this still ## Where it is ScreenMarketplaceBasic On the Marketplace: the compare button on each card (desktop), or the Select chip and then a tap on each card (phone; a long press works too). The tray at the bottom opens the comparison. Basic and Advanced. The app lists every RupeeCase index; each has its own page. [See all 18 in one table](/strategies/#sxTable). ## What it means The comparison sheet draws each strategy's model growth from 100 at a common start, on a log scale, with 1Y, 3Y, 5Y and All chips for the chart. Below it, rows set the card figures side by side: growth a year, the benchmark, max drawdown, risk, minimum, stocks, rebalance, net return and volatility; Advanced adds alpha, Sharpe, inception and universe. A check mark sits on the better value in each row that has a direction. ## The formula Each line is rebased to 100 at the first month every pick shares. The rows are the card figures: model, full history, after estimated charges. Higher is better for growth, net return, alpha and Sharpe; smaller is better for max drawdown and volatility. As computed in the RupeeCase app`Line = model value / model value at the common start x 100 (log scale) Rows = card figures, full history, after estimated charges; the chips do not change them Check mark: highest growth, net return, alpha, Sharpe; smallest fall and volatility; none on a tie` ## Worked example Example only * A: 100 became 600 since the common start; B: 100 became 400 * Max drawdown A -25%, B -18%: the check mark goes to B * Growth a year A 40%, B 30%: the check mark goes to A ## How to read it * Read a row across: the check mark marks the better value on that row only. * On a log scale equal steps are equal percentage moves. * "Growth a year" here is the card's "Growth per year". ## Watch out * The rows ignore the 1Y, 3Y and 5Y chips: they are always the full history. * Lines start at the first month every pick shares, so a newer strategy shortens the chart. * A check mark compares past model figures; it is not a recommendation. ## Transcript Tap Sound on for voice and music.
