This scheme aim to track one of the markets below, so its level, valuation and recent path are the main drivers of returns.
- P/E 28.1: higher than 24% of days since 2023 (median 33.3)
- 1Y +2.5% · 3Y +13.0% p.a. · 5Y +14.3% p.a. (index fund NAV, after costs)
- −8.1% from its 52-week high
- P/E 29.8: higher than 23% of days since 2023 (median 34.9)
- 1Y +4.7% · 3Y +13.2% p.a. · 5Y n/a p.a. (index fund NAV, after costs)
- −8.9% 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.
The Regular plan's expense ratio is 1.13% a year and the Direct plan's 0.39%, a gap of 0.74%; over the last 3 years the Direct plan returned 0.83 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 ₹18,64,343.
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.
