est. net flow, last quarter

At or near its largest, ₹89.39Cr 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.

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 Index funds & ETFs

Index funds and ETFs must keep at least 95% in the securities of the index they track, rather than trying to beat it. They charge far lower fees than active funds, and their return is the index's return minus that small cost and any tracking difference.
