since January - March 2026

−₹1.25L

est. net flow, last quarter

At or near its largest, ₹1.41Cr 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.

About Ultra Short Duration funds

Ultra short duration funds run a Macaulay duration of 3 to 6 months. That is a step out from a liquid fund — slightly more interest-rate sensitivity in exchange for slightly more yield, for money you need in months rather than days.
