This scheme invests mainly in the market below, which is also close to how many of them are benchmarked. Where that market stands today:
- P/E 34.1: higher than 90% of days since 2023 (median 30.2)
- 1Y +3.6% · 3Y +12.2% p.a. · 5Y +12.8% p.a. (index fund NAV, after costs)
- −5.1% from its 52-week high
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.
The Regular plan's expense ratio is 3.37% a year and the Direct plan's 1.93%, a gap of 1.44%. On a ₹25,000 monthly SIP for 20 years (illustration at 12% a year before costs) the gap adds up to about ₹28,45,715.
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.
