- VolatilityVolatilityHow much a fund's returns swing up and down: the standard deviation of its returns, stated as a yearly percentage. A higher figure means larger swings in both directions.

- Expense ratioExpense ratio (TER)A fund's yearly cost, as a share of its assets: its own charge, the base expense ratio (management, distribution and the like), plus the brokerage, transaction costs and statutory levies it pays to trade. It is taken from the assets each day, so the published NAV is already net of it. SEBI sets the most a fund may charge.More in the glossary · SEBI, AMFI, Zerodha Varsity

- PlanDirect planA plan bought from the fund house with no distributor; since 1 January 2013 SEBI has required one beside every Regular plan. It holds the same portfolio, under the same manager, but pays no distribution commission, so its expense ratio is lower and its NAV, kept separately, grows a little faster.More in the glossary · SEBI, AMFI

1 note about this data
- The benchmark here is an index fund that tracks the index, not the index itself, whose levels are licensed for personal use. That fund's costs keep it a little behind the index, so this fund's lead over it reads a little larger than over the index.

Annualised returnThe steady yearly rate, compounding, that would take an investment from its starting value to its ending value. ₹10,000 that became ₹15,000 in three years returned about 14.5% a year.

How does it compare with funds that do the same job?
Rank in categoryWhere a fund stands among the funds of its category on one measure, such as "10th of 37" on three-year return. Quartiles split the category into four equal groups, the first holding the top quarter. Ranks compare funds with the same mandate; a rank describes the past, not what comes next.More in the glossary · Zerodha Varsity, SEBI2 notes about this data
- Rank 1 is the highest return, the lowest volatility, the smallest fall, the highest return for the risk and the lowest expense ratio. Each counts only the category's funds with that figure (a year of prices for one-year figures, three or five years for those, an expense ratio on record for the cost), so the totals differ.
- Ranks compare the funds open today; funds that closed or merged are not included, which tends to flatter the category's middle.

How far has it fallen, and how long did it take to recover?
Deepest fall (maximum drawdown)The largest drop in a fund's NAV from a high to a later low. A NAV that rose to ₹200 and fell to ₹160 had a 20% drawdown: the worst loss a buyer at the peak would have seen.

Was the return steady, or a few good years?
Rolling returnsReturns over every window of one length in a fund's history, such as every three-year stretch, each starting a little after the last (a week apart on this site). A single figure depends on the dates chosen; rolling returns show the whole range: the best, the worst and how often each kind of result happened.More in the glossary · Zerodha VarsityAcross every three-year stretch ending between 01 Jan 2016 and 30 Oct 2026, it returned between -8.4% and +52.9% a year; the middle value was +25.1%. It was ahead of its benchmark in 211 of the 217 stretches ending from 09 Sep 2022, the first with benchmark prices at both ends.

What does this fund own?
Asset mixHow a fund's money is split across kinds of assets: shares, bonds and other debt, cash and its equivalents, and sometimes gold or units of other funds. Shares respond mostly to company earnings, debt to interest rates and credit, so the mix shapes how a fund behaves.More in the glossary · SEBI, Zerodha Varsity3 notes about this data
- 7.2% of this fund's portfolio could not be identified to a company; it is shown as a separate block.
- This portfolio comes from Groww's page for the fund, an aggregator, not from the fund house's own file. The page carries no ISINs, so more of it is unresolved than the fund house's file would leave.
- Sectors are as the fund house labels them; two fund houses may name the same sector differently.
231 holdings in the portfolio shown on Groww's page for 30 Sep 2026: 97.3% shares, 2.7% cash and equivalents. Its net current assets were -0.04%: that day it owed more than it was owed, which is ordinary for a fund, and why the rest adds up to a little over 100%.
7.20% of the fund is in holdings not matched to a company, so it is not in the tiles below.
