How this report is built
- Source. NAVs come from AMFI's official daily NAV file — the same numbers every fund house publishes. 8,634 plans priced on 28 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 28 October 2026?
Gold & Silver funds were the strongest category, averaging +1.14% across 135 plans. Arbitrage was the weakest at −0.05%.
How many mutual fund schemes rose on 28 October 2026?
1,288 of 2,028 equity plans rose and 713 fell. Across all 4,033 comparable plans — including debt and liquid funds, which accrue interest almost every day — 2,478 rose and 1,245 fell. IDCW (dividend) plans are excluded because a payout lowers the NAV without being a loss.
Which mutual fund gained the most on 28 October 2026?
Nippon India Taiwan Equity Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option (Sectoral / Thematic) rose +4.58%, the largest one-day gain among open-ended direct plans.
Which sector funds did best on 28 October 2026?
Healthcare & Pharma funds led sector and thematic schemes, averaging +1.03% 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.
