As can be seen from the above table, while some periods the index has performed well, the returns on an effective dollar basis are done away with by the dollar appreciation and the consequent rupee depreciation. This metrics is more relevant for the international investors rather than for the domestic investors as they also have to contend with the currency risk at this point of time.
