Returns for each fund's direct plan, growth option, where it has one. 3Y and 5Y figures are annualised; a fund younger than the period shows none. Sorted by AUM, largest first. AUM is each scheme's average assets for April - June 2026; the total above is our sum over the funds listed, leaving out 2 without a reported figure yet, and can differ from a fund house's own published total, which usually counts month-end assets. Not investment advice.
