Head to head
NAVs as of 20 Aug 2026
Growth of ₹100 (rebased over the selected window)
Common period 12 Jun 2014 – 20 Aug 2026, limited by ICICI Prudential Dividend Yield Equity Fund. Every series is rebased to ₹100 at the start of this window. Benchmark lines are the category index WealthTicker measures against, which is not always the benchmark the scheme itself declares — the fund page’s Scheme Info names that one.

Portfolio overlap (same stocks held through more than one fund)
Some overlap is structural: SEBI defines large cap as the top 100 stocks by market capitalisation, so two large-cap funds are fishing the same pond by regulation. The bands below are measured per sleeve pairing rather than against one blanket threshold. How this is measured →
