Baroda BNP Paribas Dynamic Bond Fund
Baroda BNP Paribas Mutual Fund · Best Dynamic Bond Mutual Funds
This is the Regular plan of Baroda BNP Paribas Dynamic Bond Fund — bought through a distributor, whose commission is paid out of its expense ratio. Income is distributed twice a year, 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.

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.
- -7.0%26 Sep 2024 → 02 Apr 2026
Still below that high — 1.5 years down, and no recovery yet.
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 · AMFIDown +20% from its peak of ₹154.16Cr in January - March 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.

About Debt funds
Debt funds lend money to governments and companies and earn interest. They're generally steadier than equity funds; their risk comes from interest-rate moves and, for some, the creditworthiness of borrowers.
