This scheme aim to track the market below, so its level, valuation and recent path are the main drivers of returns.
- P/E 17.8: higher than 1% of days since 2022 (median 26.9)
- 1Y −14.9% · 3Y −2.0% p.a. · 5Y −2.3% p.a. (index fund NAV, after costs)
- −28.3% 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 0.86% a year and the Direct plan's 0.39%, a gap of 0.47%. On a ₹25,000 monthly SIP for 20 years (illustration at 12% a year before costs) the gap adds up to about ₹12,04,664.
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.
