NAV history

When comparing, both lines start at 100. Tradinity's reference for the category: a total-return index (dividends reinvested). The fund's declared benchmark (Nifty India Defence Index TRI (Total Returns Index)) is not available to us as a series.

Returns

This is an IDCW (dividend) option: it pays cash out of its NAV, so returns computed from the NAV alone would understate what an investor earned. See the Growth option of the same plan for performance.

What if you had invested?

Computed from this fund's actual NAVs. A SIP buys at the first NAV of each month and is valued at the latest NAV. Past returns do not guarantee future ones.

Other plans of this fund

Returns are computed by Tradinity from each scheme's own published NAV, so they are net of the fund's expenses. Periods over one year are annualised (CAGR). Past performance does not indicate future returns. Only Growth-option schemes are ranked: an IDCW scheme pays cash out of its NAV, so its NAV understates what an investor earned.
