These are each scheme's returns for the plan shown, not Kinjal Desai's personal track record: a manager may not have run a scheme for the whole period. “–” means the scheme has no return for that period yet, usually because it is younger. AUM is each scheme's total, including assets run by its co-managers. Past returns do not guarantee future returns.
