as of 05 Oct 2026

This is the Direct plan of Aditya Birla Sun Life Arbitrage Fund — bought from the fund house, with no distributor commission in its expense ratio. Income is distributed and reinvested in more units, 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.
