ICICI Prudential Business Cycle Fund - Series 3
This is the Direct plan of ICICI Prudential Business Cycle Fund - Series 3 — 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 scheme hasn’t published a NAV since 25 Feb 2019 — it appears to have been discontinued or merged. Trailing return and risk metrics need recent pricing, so they can’t be computed; only the NAV history and lifetime drawdown are shown below.
