Direct plans typically outperform Regular plans by around 50 basis points per year because they carry no distributor commission. The "Peer Q (5Y)" column shows the fund's quartile within this category over the 5-year window: Q1 = top 25%.

Frequently asked questions

Generated from this category's live aggregates — average returns, fund counts, quartile spreads. Updated daily.

Index Funds passively track a benchmark — Nifty 50, Nifty 500, Sensex etc. Expense ratios are 0.1-0.3% vs 1-2% for actively managed; net of expenses they beat ~60-70% of active large-cap funds over 5+ years.
We currently track 344 active Index Fund schemes (Direct plan, Growth option). The list updates daily after AMFI publishes new NAVs and SEBI re-classifies schemes. 9 of them sit in the top quartile by 5-year CAGR.
Over the last 5 years, the average Index Fund (Direct plan) has returned 11.39% CAGR — that turns ₹1 lakh into roughly ₹171,488. Over the last 12 months the category averaged 2.69%. Top-quartile funds in this category typically beat the average by 3-6 percentage points per year — fund selection within a category matters more than the category choice itself.
Over the trailing 5-year window, the highest-returning Index Fund in our database is **Motilal Oswal S&P 500 Index Fund - Direct Plan Growth** (Motilal Oswal) with a CAGR of 17.67%. The category average is 11.39%. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns — top-quartile funds in one window often slip in the next.
The best 1-year return in the Index Fund category right now is **ICICI Prudential NASDAQ 100 Index Fund - Direct Plan - Growth** (ICICI Prudential) at 38.67%. 1-year numbers are noisy and shouldn't be the sole basis for picking — cross-check rolling returns and 5-year CAGR before deciding.
Across all Index Fund schemes with 5 years of history, the 5-year CAGR ranges from 6.16% (worst) to 17.67% (best), with a median of 10.18%. That spread of about 12 percentage points between top and bottom is a useful gauge of how much fund selection matters in this category.
On ProfitGuruOnline you can browse either Index Fund Direct plans (lower expense ratio, no broker commission baked in) or Regular plans (sold through distributors). Use the filter on the category page. Direct typically outperforms Regular by 0.5-1% per year in the same scheme — meaningful over 10+ years.
Tax treatment for Index Fund depends on its asset mix — see the AMC's factsheet for the current equity/debt split.
SIP suits hybrid/balanced categories because the in-built equity exposure benefits from rupee-cost averaging. Hybrid funds also rebalance internally so you don't have to manually shift between equity and debt.
Match the horizon to the Other bucket: equity ≥5 years, debt 1-3 years (or per modified duration), hybrid 3-5 years.
Risk profile follows the underlying asset mix — see the AMC's factsheet for current allocation and historical drawdown.
Two or three schemes from different AMCs is usually enough for a single category. Beyond that you'd be re-creating the category average minus your selection cost. Focus on consistency (% of rolling-return windows that ended positive) over chasing top performers — top quartile rarely repeats.
Quarterly is plenty for monitoring NAVs and aggregate gain; annually (or after major regulatory changes like Budget 2024) is the right cadence for re-evaluating against alternatives. Don't churn based on 1-month or even 1-year underperformance — equity funds need 3-5 year horizons to fairly judge.
We rank funds within each category by point-to-point CAGR over the chosen window (1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 7Y, 10Y, since inception), then assign quartile and decile bands so any fund's standing relative to peers is one click away. Numbers are recomputed nightly after AMFI's NAV publish.
Daily NAVs are pulled directly from AMFI's published feed. Category classification uses SEBI's October-2017 mutual-fund categorisation circular. We compute returns, rolling-window stats, SIP backtests, drawdowns and Sharpe ratios in-house — no third-party feeds, no hidden adjustments.
