as of 05 Oct 2026

This is the Direct plan of Kotak Multi Asset Active FOF — bought from the fund house, with no distributor commission in its expense ratio. Income is distributed, which is why this NAV sits below the growth plan of the same fund.

Compare SIP calculator

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.

TRI means dividends reinvested, as they are in the fund's own NAV; ₹ means a US index converted at each day's USD/INR, since the fund is priced in rupees. Needs ~3 years of history; a low R² means the fund tracks the index loosely.

est. net flow, last quarter

At or near its largest, ₹78.35Cr in July - September 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.
