NAVs as of 12 Oct 2026
Growth of ₹100 (rebased over the selected window)
Common period 10 Jan 2013 – 09 Oct 2026, limited by ICICI Prudential Focused 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. Nifty 500 TRI history starts 25 Jul 2016, so that benchmark is not plotted over this window — pick a shorter range to see it.

Portfolio overlap (same stocks held through more than one fund)
