Rolling Returns
SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd.
Every 7-year stretch SBILIFE has been through — 23 of them, each starting a month after the last. The median returned 15.1% a year, the worst 10.6%, the best 19.9%. A single headline CAGR hides all of that.
Every Holding Period
A rolling window is every possible start date, not one. A five-year window starting in January is a different investment from one starting in February, and over twenty years there are a couple of hundred of them. What follows is the full spread of what each holding period actually produced.
Across 95 separate 1-year holding periods, the median returned 12.1% a year. The worst lost 22.4% a year and the best made 77.5%.
Worst start: October 2019 — -22.4% a year for the 1 years that followed.
Best start: October 2018 — 77.5% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: SBILIFE came out ahead in 53.7% of the 95 windows both series cover.
Across 71 separate 3-year holding periods, the median returned 15.8% a year. Not one of them ended in a loss — the weakest still compounded at 5.3% a year.
Worst start: October 2017 — 5.3% a year for the 3 years that followed.
Best start: September 2018 — 33.7% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: SBILIFE came out ahead in 63.4% of the 71 windows both series cover.
Across 47 separate 5-year holding periods, the median returned 15.3% a year. Not one of them ended in a loss — the weakest still compounded at 7.8% a year.
Worst start: December 2019 — 7.8% a year for the 5 years that followed.
Best start: February 2019 — 22.1% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: SBILIFE came out ahead in 66.0% of the 47 windows both series cover.
Across 23 separate 7-year holding periods, the median returned 15.1% a year. Not one of them ended in a loss — the weakest still compounded at 10.6% a year.
Worst start: December 2017 — 10.6% a year for the 7 years that followed.
Best start: February 2019 — 19.9% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: SBILIFE came out ahead in 78.3% of the 23 windows both series cover.
Windows step forward one month at a time and are measured on month-end adjusted closing prices, so dividends are treated as reinvested. Overlapping windows share months by construction — that is what makes the spread a description of this stock's history rather than a sample of independent trials.
Against The Index
Beating an index once is a result. Beating it across most of the periods an investor could have picked is a pattern. Over 7-year windows, SBILIFE finished ahead of the Nifty 50 in 78.3% of the 23 periods both series cover.
1-year windows
Ahead in 53.7% of 95 periods.
3-year windows
Ahead in 63.4% of 71 periods.
5-year windows
Ahead in 66.0% of 47 periods.
7-year windows
Ahead in 78.3% of 23 periods.
Each window is compared against the index over the identical calendar months, on the same adjusted basis — not against an assumed rate of return.
How This Is Calculated
Windows step forward one month at a time, so they share most of their months with each other. That is what makes this a description of SBILIFE's actual history rather than a set of independent trials — and why the spread should not be read as a probability.
Measured on month-end closing prices adjusted for dividends and splits, so dividends count as reinvested. A window that opened or closed mid-month would differ a little in either direction.
SBILIFEis in today's Nifty 500 universe. Companies that delisted or collapsed are not on this site at all, so the worst outcome shown here is the worst among the survivors.

HELP CENTER
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
Over 7 years, SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd. has been through 23 separate 7 years holding periods — one starting every month. The median returned 15.1% a year, the worst 10.6% and the best 19.9%. A rolling return measures every possible start date instead of one, which is why it answers a question a single headline CAGR cannot: how much the outcome depended on when you happened to buy.
No — not in any of the 23 7 years periods the record covers. The weakest of them still compounded at 10.6% a year. That is a statement about the past, not a guarantee about any future 7 years, and it is measured only over the years SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd. has been listed.
7.8% a year, for the five years beginning December 2019. For contrast the best 5 years returned 22.1% a year, starting February 2019, and the median across all 47 periods was 15.3%. The gap between those two numbers is the part of the outcome that came down to timing rather than to the company.
On this record, yes. 1 year outcomes ranged from -22.4% to 77.5% a year — a spread of 99.9%. 7 years outcomes ranged from 10.6% to 19.9%, a spread of 9.3%. Longer holding periods narrowed the range of results, which is the usual pattern and the reason this page publishes every window rather than one. Narrowing the range is not the same as removing the risk.
In 78.3% of the 23 7 years periods both series cover. Each window is compared against the index over the identical months, not against an assumed index return, so the comparison is a like-for-like record rather than a model.
Windows step forward one month at a time on month-end closing prices adjusted for dividends and stock splits, so dividends are treated as reinvested. A window length is only published once there are at least twelve complete windows behind it — fewer than that describes an anecdote, not a distribution. Overlapping windows share months by construction, which is what makes this a description of the actual history of SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd. rather than a sample of independent trials. Companies that delisted are not on this site at all, a survivorship bias worth holding in mind.
That is not a question this page answers, and we do not make recommendations. What it can show you is the full range of what every holding period in the listed history of SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd. actually produced — including the worst ones, which most performance figures leave out. Those are records of what happened, not forecasts. A stock that never had a losing decade may still have one, and holding a single company is a materially different risk from holding an index.
