How this report is built

  • Source. NAVs come from AMFI's official daily NAV file — the same numbers every fund house publishes. 8,158 plans priced on 14 October 2026.
  • One-day change. Each plan is compared with its own previous NAV from the last five days. A plan with no NAV in that window shows no change rather than a misleading one.
  • Categories. Plans are grouped by SEBI category (both the original and the revised AMFI names), with index funds split into equity and debt trackers by name.
  • Exclusions. IDCW (dividend) plans are left out of averages and lists, because a payout lowers the NAV without being a loss.
  • Not advice. This is a record of what happened in one session. A fund's one-day move says almost nothing about whether it suits you.

Frequently asked questions

Which mutual fund category performed best on 14 October 2026?

Equity Index & ETF funds were the strongest category, averaging +1.03% across 800 plans. Gold & Silver was the weakest at −1.89%.

How many mutual fund schemes rose on 14 October 2026?

1,626 of 1,956 equity plans rose and 316 fell. Across all 3,775 comparable plans — including debt and liquid funds, which accrue interest almost every day — 2,491 rose and 1,170 fell. IDCW (dividend) plans are excluded because a payout lowers the NAV without being a loss.

Which mutual fund gained the most on 14 October 2026?

HDFC Technology Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option (Sectoral / Thematic) rose +4.16%, the largest one-day gain among open-ended direct plans.

Which sector funds did best on 14 October 2026?

Technology & Digital funds led sector and thematic schemes, averaging +2.73% across 7 schemes.

When is mutual fund NAV updated?

Fund houses publish NAVs through AMFI every business day, by 11 PM IST. Some overseas fund-of-funds publish a day later. This report is rebuilt from AMFI's NAV file each evening once it updates.

Why did my fund's NAV fall when the market rose?

Common reasons: the fund holds a different mix of stocks than the index; it is an IDCW plan and the NAV dropped by the payout on the record date; or it is a debt fund reacting to bond yields rather than the stock market.

What is the difference between direct and regular plans?

Both hold exactly the same portfolio. A regular plan pays a distributor commission out of a higher expense ratio, so its NAV grows slightly slower. Lists on this page use direct plans, one row per scheme.
