This scheme invests mainly in the markets below, which are also close to how many of them are benchmarked. Where those markets stand today:

- 1Y +13.1% · 3Y +19.8% p.a. · 5Y +13.2% p.a. (index fund NAV, after costs)
- −6.8% from its 52-week high
- P/E 40.1: higher than 75% of days since 2016 (median 37.6)

Index levels and P/E: NSE daily index closing values; gold and silver: IBJA rates; returns: growth NAV of an index fund or ETF tracking the market (AMFI), so they are after that fund's costs. Context only: a market's level or valuation does not tell you how any scheme will perform. Explore all markets.
The Regular plan's expense ratio is 3.19% a year and the Direct plan's 1.56%, a gap of 1.63%; over the last 3 years the Direct plan returned 1.92 percentage points a year more. On a ₹25,000 monthly SIP for 20 years (illustration at 12% a year before costs) the gap adds up to about ₹33,38,816.
With the Regular plan, that cost pays a distributor to help you plan, choose and review funds, and stay invested when markets fall. Whether it is worth it depends on how much of that you will do yourself.
