This is the Regular plan of Sundaram Global Brand Theme-Equity Active FOF — bought through a distributor, whose commission is paid out of its expense ratio. Income is distributed, which is why this NAV sits below the growth plan of the same fund.

Compare SIP calculator

This is the IDCW (dividend) option — it pays its earnings out as dividends rather than reinvesting them, so every payout steps the NAV down and the return figures below leave those payouts out. Your actual return was higher by whatever was distributed. That’s expected for a payout plan, not missing data.

est. net flow, last quarter

At or near its largest, ₹163.17Cr in April - June 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.
