Market context from Integrato Market Intelligence
This scheme invests mainly in the market below, which is also close to how many of them are benchmarked. Where that market stands today:
6.78%
1 Jul 2026 · +0.43 pp in a year · 5Y average 6.90%
Index levels and P/E: NSE daily index closing values; gold and silver: IBJA rates; returns: growth NAV of an index fund or ETF tracking the market (AMFI), so they are after that fund's costs. Context only: a market's level or valuation does not tell you how any scheme will perform. Explore all markets.
Direct or Regular for this scheme?
The Regular plan's expense ratio is 0.61% a year and the Direct plan's 0.32%, a gap of 0.29%; over the last 3 years the Direct plan returned 0.32 percentage points a year more. On a ₹25,000 monthly SIP for 20 years (illustration at 12% a year before costs) the gap adds up to about ₹7,58,753.
With the Regular plan, that cost pays a distributor to help you plan, choose and review funds, and stay invested when markets fall. Whether it is worth it depends on how much of that you will do yourself.
