Ranked within Dynamic Asset Allocation or Balanced Advantage (same plan and option). 30 of the 36 Dynamic Asset Allocation or Balanced Advantage funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

At or near its largest, ₹1,531Cr 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.

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 Balanced Advantage funds

Balanced advantage (dynamic asset allocation) funds move between equity and debt based on market valuations, adding more stocks when they look cheap and trimming when they look dear. The goal is a smoother ride.
