TRUSTMF Corporate Bond Fund
Trust Mutual Fund · Best Corporate Bond Mutual Funds
This is the Regular plan of TRUSTMF Corporate Bond Fund — bought through a distributor, whose commission is paid out of its expense ratio. Income is distributed monthly, 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.
