Overlap is the share of each fund's equity book invested in the same stocks, by weight, across the Direct-plan universe — so a fund that is only part equity is labelled as such. ! marks a pair holding more in common than nine pairs in ten of its type, where that type has a measured distribution.

est. net flow, last quarter

Down +10% from its peak of ₹182.75Cr in January - March 2026. Size matters most where the mandate is narrow — a large small-cap or a very large flexi-cap book is harder to move without moving the price.

Net flow is an estimate: AMFI publishes a quarterly average AUM, not a closing balance, and it covers every plan and option of this scheme together, so it is a read on direction and rough size rather than a cash-flow statement.
