Historical NAV (price) data of mutual funds and popular benchmark indices in India

Context

Real-life application of library

I built and operated a mutual fund investing platform as an AMFI licensed mutual fund distributor for a year. I used this data to analyse and visualise mutual funds.

Open source in fintech?!

The finance industry wants exclusive access to data to be a barrier for entry of competition. I believe that, on the contrary, data should be universally accessible and differentiation in product or distribution could be the barriers. This is why I am open-sourcing all the data I collected.

Data source

I have obtained this data by aggregating data from multiple sources, collected by crawling websites and having access to transaction portals as an AMFI licensed mutual fund distributor.

Data stats

• ~45 MB of compressed data

mf_nav: Daily NAV data of mutual funds

• for 45 MF companies incl a few that have since then been closed down
• for all funds of each company
• for all schemes (growth/dividend/bonus, direct/regular etc) of each fund
• since start of each scheme
• till 2016 (Feb for some funds, Jun for others)

index_values: Daily closing value of benchmark indices

• for 13 most popular stock indices like BSE Sensex, NSE Nifty etc and SBI FD
• since start of each index
• till Apr 2016

Play with data

I used mongoDB to store all this time series data. My other github repo talks more about it.
