Fund basics
How it compares in its category
Against the Dividend Yield Direct schemes with the highest three-year return. Same category, same plan — the only comparison that means anything. The list re-sorts itself as returns move; it is an ordering by one number, not a view on which fund anyone should hold.
What a Dividend Yield scheme is
At least 65% in equity, predominantly in high dividend-yielding stocks.
Companies that pay out rather than reinvest — usually mature, cash-generating businesses. Steadier than the market, and structurally lighter on the fast-growing names that drive bull runs.
Who it suits. Investors who prefer cash-generating businesses and a gentler ride.
How long money should stay. 5 years or more.
Questions people ask
What is the NAV of Baroda BNP Paribas Dividend Yield Fund — Direct Plan — IDCW Option?
₹10.1829 as on 27 Aug 2026, from AMFI's daily NAV file. NAV is declared once each business day after markets close, so the figure here is the most recent one published.
What is the difference between the Direct and Regular plan of Baroda BNP Paribas Dividend Yield Fund?
They hold the identical portfolio, run by the same manager. A Regular plan pays a distributor commission out of the fund, inside its expense ratio — commonly 0.5% to 1.2% a year more than Direct. That difference is charged on the whole balance, every year, so it compounds: on ₹1,00,000 held ten years a gap of 1.5 percentage points is roughly ₹1.4 lakh of ending value. Direct is the same fund without the commission.
What does the IDCW Option option mean?
An IDCW option pays part of the fund's gains out to you, and the NAV falls by exactly what it pays. It is not extra return — it is your own money returned, taxed at your slab rate. That also means a return computed from NAV alone understates an IDCW scheme, which is why no CAGR is shown here for it.
