Now It Can. Someone asked my portfolio agent to look up a mutual fund scheme and give them its NAV, and the agent had to tell them it could not. Now it can. What happened was that the agent had every other kind of market data wired into it and nothing at all for Indian mutual funds, so it came back with nothing, and all the while the data was already sitting right there. I run the NAV database and the open API on top of it, and the agent had no route to either of them. It has one now. You give it a fund name, roughly the way you would say it out loud, and it searches the AMFI scheme master and resolves the real scheme code before it fetches anything. If the name could mean more than one scheme it shows you the options and asks you first, since most funds run as Direct and Regular plans with Growth and IDCW options, four near identical names sitting on different series in the data. Several funds in one message is fine. For a short window it puts the NAVs in the chat. Ask for longer and it gives you a CSV link rather than printing thousands of rows at you. If you would rather do the work yourself, MFPRO ([tigzig.com/mfpro](https://www.tigzig.com/mfpro)) is the interactive tool, go to the "Data" tab there, and the MF NAV API ([tigzig.com/apis/mf-nav](https://www.tigzig.com/apis/mf-nav)) is open. No signup and no key required for any of them.

It is now connected to the Yahoo Finance search API - Run a quant report on one security against a benchmark, covering returns, drawdowns, volatility and the usual risk ratios - Run a technical analysis report on daily and weekly data, and hand you both the HTML and a PDF - Compare several securities side by side on return and risk, with the underlying data as CSV It can generate all sorts of reports for you, but one thing it is not allowed to do is give investment advice, as that goes into a tricky compliance area. ## Why it asks instead of picking for you The same fund exists as Direct and Regular plans with Growth and IDCW options, and they are separate series with different numbers. Pick the wrong one for a return calculation and the answer looks perfectly reasonable and is off by roughly the expense difference every year, compounding. This is why the agent shows you the candidates and asks rather than picking for you. For example, try this: ``` show all schemes of kotak elss ``` ## Related Tools: [Quants Agent](https://www.tigzig.com/n8n-tech-analysis), [MFPRO - Mutual Fund Analytics](https://www.tigzig.com/mfpro), [QRep - Security Reports](https://www.tigzig.com/qrep) Explore: [MF NAV API docs](https://www.tigzig.com/apis/mf-nav), [API and MCP catalog](https://www.tigzig.com/apis), [Market and macro tools](https://www.tigzig.com/markets) More posts: [Three Upgrades on the India Mutual Fund NAV API.
