Franklin India Dynamic Asset Allocation Active Fund of Funds
Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund · Best Domestic Fund of Funds
This is the Direct plan of Franklin India Dynamic Asset Allocation Active Fund of Funds — bought from the fund house, with no distributor commission in 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.
