- The price-adjusted series does not correct for a rights issue (ex-date 2017-02-17) — BSE's corporate-actions feed does not carry the subscription price or ratio a rights adjustment needs, unlike splits and bonuses, which are corrected. Returns spanning that date may be modestly overstated or understated.
