Groww Value Fund
Fund basics
Returns
No CAGR is shown for an Monthly - Income Distribution cum capital withdrawal scheme, and that is deliberate. Its NAV falls by every payout it makes, so a return computed from NAV alone understates it by exactly the amount distributed — and AMFI's daily file carries no payout history to add back. A wrong number wearing the right label is worse than an honest gap. The Growth option of this same fund is the one to compare on returns.
Direct vs Regular — same portfolio, two prices
The same fund, the same manager, the same shares. The only difference is the distributor commission inside the Regular plan's expense ratio — charged every year, on the whole balance.
| Plan | NAV | 1y | 3y | 5y |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct (this page) | 24.6314 | — | — | — |
| Regular | 21.5264 | — | — | — |
The two NAVs are 12.6% apart today. They started life at the same ₹10 — the whole of that gap is what the commission has taken out of the Regular plan since launch.
Everything the NAV says
Computed from 2,306 published NAVs between 3 Mar 2017 and 26 Aug 2026 — 9.5 years of history. Nothing here is an estimate; it is arithmetic on what the fund actually printed.
How it has moved
Return over time (%)
| Fund name | 1M | 3M | 6M | 1Y | 3Y | 5Y | 7Y | 10Y | Since launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Groww Value Fund Direct | 1.69 | 4.35 | 3.73 | 5.37 | 15.26 | 13.02 | 16.36 | — | 9.95 |
| Nifty 500 benchmark | 1.70 | 2.71 | 0.73 | 3.95 | 12.51 | 11.37 | — | — | 15.46 |
| Value / Contra category median · 24 funds | — | — | — | 2.79 | 15.24 | 15.03 | — | 14.92 | — |
Anything over a year is annualised (CAGR); shorter windows are absolute. The benchmark row is the index fund named below, priced daily by AMFI like every other scheme here. The category row is the median Direct plan in Value / Contra — the middle fund, not a ranking, and a median rather than an average so that one mis-stated scheme cannot move it. As on 26 Aug 2026.
Risk measures
| Fund name | Volatility | Sharpe | Sortino | Beta | Alpha | Max fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Groww Value Fund Direct | 15.63 | 0.56 | 0.75 | 0.93 | 1.35 | -46.99 |
| Nifty 500 benchmark | 17.17 | 0.35 | 0.47 | — | — | -37.31 |
Risk measures use a risk-free rate of 6.5% and are stated so they can be checked — a ratio quoted without its risk-free rate cannot be. Beta and alpha need an index, so they are blank for the benchmark row itself.
Risk
| Volatility | Downside volatility | Sharpe | Sortino |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15.6% | 11.7% | 0.56 | 0.75 |
Sharpe and Sortino use a risk-free rate of 6.5%, roughly the 10-year government bond. Both are stated so the figure can be checked — a ratio quoted without its risk-free rate cannot be.
The worst it has been
| Deepest fall | Time to recover | Today, from its peak |
|---|---|---|
| -47.0% | 11 months | -0.7% |
A drawdown is the fall from a previous high to the low that followed it. It is the number that decides whether somebody stays invested — a fund can have an excellent ten-year return and still have been unbearable to hold in year four.
Every one-year period it has lived through
| Best year | Median year | Worst year | Losing years |
|---|---|---|---|
| 78.9% | 6.5% | -32.4% | 28% |
Rolling returns ask a fairer question than a single five-year figure: not "what did it do from this one start date", but "what happened across every start date". A fund whose worst year is −45% is a different proposition from one whose worst is −8%, even if the averages match.
Calendar years
If you had run a SIP
₹10,000 every month for five years — ₹600,000 invested in all — would be worth ₹828,527 today, an XIRR of 12.88% a year.
XIRR, not CAGR. A SIP's money arrives over sixty months, so most of it has been invested for far less than five years — which is why this figure normally sits below the five-year CAGR above in a rising market, and above it in a falling one. It is the return the investor got, not the return the fund got.
What a Value / Contra scheme is
At least 65% in equity, following a value or contrarian strategy.
Buying what the market dislikes. These funds can lag for years — sometimes many years — and then make it back quickly. Judging one over three years usually judges the market's mood rather than the manager.
Who it suits. Patient investors who understand that being early looks identical to being wrong.
How long money should stay. 7 to 10 years.

Questions people ask
What is the NAV of Groww Value Fund — Direct Plan — Monthly - Income Distribution cum capital withdrawal?
₹24.6314 as on 26 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 Groww Value 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 Monthly - Income Distribution cum capital withdrawal 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.
