est. net flow, last quarter

At or near its largest, ₹2,161Cr 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.

About Credit Risk funds

Credit risk funds must keep at least 65% in corporate bonds rated AA and below. The lower rating is what pays the extra yield, and it is also the risk — a downgrade or default hits the NAV directly, which is not a thing that happens in a gilt fund.
