Aditya Birla Sun Life Retirement Fund-The 30s

Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund · Best Retirement Mutual Funds

This is the Regular plan of Aditya Birla Sun Life Retirement Fund-The 30s — 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.

NAV
₹18.77
+0.92% 1D
as of 20 Aug 2026

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.

Worst falls, and the wait to get back

How far this fund has dropped from a high, and how long it took to reclaim it.

    Fell over 39 days, back to the old high on 17 Nov 2020 8 months under water after the low.

  • -24.9%23 Sep 202428 Feb 2025

    Still below that high — 5 months down, and no recovery yet.

  • -18.4%15 Nov 202117 Jun 2022

    Fell over 7 months, back to the old high on 30 Jun 2023 12 months under water after the low.

Measured on this fund’s own NAV history, peak to trough to the day it regained the peak. Falls shallower than 5% are left out. A recovery date is when the NAV got back, not when any particular investor did — that depends on when they bought.

Fund size over time

Quarterly average AUM · AMFI
₹434.17Cr
April - June 2026
+5%
since January - March 2026

At or near its largest, ₹434.17Cr 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.

Returns and risk are computed from NAV history and may differ slightly from other portals due to methodology (rolling vs point-to-point, dividend treatment). For research only — not investment advice.
