HSBC Mutual Fund · Best International Fund of Funds

This is the Regular plan of HSBC Global Emerging Markets Fund — 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.

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.
