Fund basics
Everything the NAV says
Computed from 30 published NAVs between 20 Jul 2026 and 28 Aug 2026 — 0.1 years of history. Nothing here is an estimate; it is arithmetic on what the fund actually printed.
Return over time (%)
| Fund name | 1M | 3M | 6M | 1Y | 3Y | 5Y | 7Y | 10Y | Since launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICICI Prudential Balanced Hybrid Fund Regular | 1.09 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — |
| Balanced Hybrid category median · 1 funds | — | — | — | 27.10 | 16.03 | 14.20 | — | 12.72 | — |
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 Regular plan in Balanced Hybrid — the middle fund, not a ranking, and a median rather than an average so that one mis-stated scheme cannot move it. As on 27 Aug 2026.
Risk measures
| Fund name | Volatility | Sharpe | Sortino | Beta | Alpha | Max fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICICI Prudential Balanced Hybrid Fund Regular | — | — | — | — | — | -1.08 |
Risk-free rate 6.5%. Beta and alpha need an index, so the benchmark's own row leaves them blank.
The worst it has been
| Deepest fall | Time to recover | Today, from its peak |
|---|---|---|
| -1.1% | — | -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.

Questions people ask
What is the NAV of ICICI Prudential Balanced Hybrid Fund — Regular Plan — Growth?
₹10.1700 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 ICICI Prudential Balanced Hybrid 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 Growth option mean?
Growth reinvests everything the fund earns back into the NAV. Nothing is paid out, so the NAV rises with returns and you are taxed only when you sell. For anybody who does not need income from the investment, Growth is the simpler and usually the more tax-efficient option.
What kind of scheme is this?
40–60% equity, the rest in debt, with no arbitrage. A genuine half-and-half. Rarer than the other hybrids because most fund houses prefer the flexibility of a balanced advantage fund.
How long should money stay in it?
Typically 5 years or more. Investors who want a fixed, knowable split.
