How this report is built

  • Source. NAVs come from AMFI's official daily NAV file — the same numbers every fund house publishes. 8,639 plans priced on 15 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 15 October 2026?

Large Cap funds were the strongest category, averaging +1.05% across 72 plans. International was the weakest at −1.77%.

How many mutual fund schemes rose on 15 October 2026?

1,131 of 2,022 equity plans rose and 883 fell. Across all 4,040 comparable plans — including debt and liquid funds, which accrue interest almost every day — 2,035 rose and 1,889 fell. IDCW (dividend) plans are excluded because a payout lowers the NAV without being a loss.

Which mutual fund gained the most on 15 October 2026?

ICICI Prudential US Bluechip Equity Fund - Direct Plan - Growth (Sectoral / Thematic) rose +2.17%, the largest one-day gain among open-ended direct plans.

Which sector funds did best on 15 October 2026?

Technology & Digital funds led sector and thematic schemes, averaging +0.90% across 13 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.
