Market context from Integrato Market Intelligence
This scheme aim to track one of the markets below, so its level, valuation and recent path are the main drivers of returns.
22,421.95 −0.88%
NSE close, 1 Oct 2026
- P/E 19.2: higher than 1% of days since 2019 (median 22.5)
- 1Y −9.0% · 3Y +5.4% p.a. · 5Y +5.9% p.a. (index fund NAV, after costs)
- −14.8% from its 52-week high
- 1Y −10.6% · 3Y +3.8% p.a. · 5Y +4.9% p.a. (index fund NAV, after costs)
- −15.7% from its 52-week high (proxy NAV)
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 1.06% a year and the Direct plan's 0.66%, a gap of 0.40%; over the last 3 years the Direct plan returned 0.59 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 ₹9,94,552.
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.
