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.
