To start with, what triggered Mutual Funds dashboard

App IA shifted —

Core investment workflows (locating SIPs, tracking external funds) were difficult to access, leading to increased user support queries

2 – 3% users saw incorrect portfolio values — due to core architecture issue

Even though this affected a small percentage, wealth products operate heavily on trust.

Final designs after all the stakeholder alignment

But still we were not solving the core architecture problem — which caused inaccuracy in portfolio data for 2–3% of users

Understanding why it happens

We get data from
MF central

We preprocess it —
separate external funds

Sometimes transactions gets tracked twice, if the NAV date is complicated, Multiple folios connected — These are just few scenarios.
