How this report is built

  • Source. NAVs come from AMFI's official daily NAV file — the same numbers every fund house publishes. 8,627 plans priced on 26 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; 2 one-day moves beyond ±15% were treated as data errors.
  • 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 26 October 2026?

Mid Cap funds were the strongest category, averaging +1.16% across 68 plans. Arbitrage was the weakest at −0.16%.

How many mutual fund schemes rose on 26 October 2026?

1,978 of 2,024 equity plans rose and 44 fell. Across all 4,026 comparable plans — including debt and liquid funds, which accrue interest almost every day — 3,720 rose and 250 fell. IDCW (dividend) plans are excluded because a payout lowers the NAV without being a loss.

Which mutual fund gained the most on 26 October 2026?

Samco ELSS Tax Saver Fund - Direct Plan - Growth (ELSS (Tax Saver)) rose +2.74%, the largest one-day gain among open-ended direct plans.

Which sector funds did best on 26 October 2026?

Healthcare & Pharma funds led sector and thematic schemes, averaging +1.60% across 18 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.
