est. net flow, last quarter

Down +17% from its peak of ₹282.99Cr 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.

AMC Profile

Helios Mutual Fund is run by Helios Capital Asset Management, founded by Samir Arora, the long-time India manager behind Helios Capital's offshore funds. It entered the domestic mutual fund business with a flexi-cap scheme and has kept a compact equity line-up since.
