AUM is each fund's size at the end of its last reported month, from its own portfolio file. We calculate the risk ratios from daily NAVs over the last three years. The risk-free return is what NSE's overnight rate index earned over the same years. Alpha and beta compare each fund with its own benchmark's TRI. "--" means we have no figure: for alpha and beta, no daily series for that benchmark.
What each plan charges a year, in force from 01-09-2026
| Plan | Base expense ratio | Brokerage | Transaction costs | Levies and GST | Total expense ratio | Overnight median | Cost rank (1 = cheapest) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct | 0.08% | 0.00% | 0.02% | 0.01% | 0.11% | 0.11% | 21/40 |
| Regular | 0.16% | 0.00% | 0.02% | 0.03% | 0.21% | 0.18% | 26/39 |
The expense ratio comes out of the fund's assets every day, so every return on this page is already after it. Base expense ratio: the fund house's own fee. The total adds brokerage, the cost of executing trades, and statutory levies with GST. From AMFI's expense ratio file. Cost rank: where this plan comes when the Overnight funds' plans of the same type are sorted from the lowest total expense ratio to the highest.
Direct vs Regular: what the gap cost
Both plans own the same portfolio, so the difference in what they earned is the Regular plan's extra cost, taken out of its NAV.
