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 Fund of Funds — 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.

The worst it has been

Deepest fallTime to recoverToday, from its peak
-3.9%0 monthsAt a high
0%-1%-3%-4%
How far below its own record high the fund sat, on every single day it has existed. Flat along the top means it was making new highs; every dip is a stretch where somebody who bought at the wrong moment was down.

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.

What it actually holds

The real portfolio the AMC filed with AMFI. Nothing here is estimated — when a fund has no filing in our store the section simply does not appear. A fund is its holdings; the returns above are only what those holdings did.

A fund's risk starts here — how much of it is even in the market — before any question of which stocks or which sectors. Cash is not idleness; it is the manager's choice not to be invested, and it shows up as a drag in a rising market and a cushion in a falling one.

Largest holdings

Top 10 are 98.2% of the fund. A high number means a concentrated portfolio — fewer names doing more of the work, for better and for worse.

How it compares in its category

Against the Fund of Funds 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.

Alpha and beta are against the category index. Max fall is the deepest peak-to-trough drop in each fund's own history, so a longer-running fund has had more chances to record a bad one. Click a column to sort. This is a sort, not a ranking, and nothing here is a recommendation.

What a Fund of Funds scheme is

Invests in other mutual funds.

One fund holding several. Useful for reaching gold, overseas markets or a ready-made allocation in a single purchase — at the cost of a second layer of fees, and sometimes debt-fund taxation.

Who it suits. Investors wanting a packaged allocation or an asset they cannot buy directly.

How long money should stay. 5 years or more.

Questions people ask

What is the NAV of Kotak Quality Overseas Equity Active FOF — Direct Plan — Growth?

₹11.6400 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 Kotak Quality Overseas Equity Active FOF?

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?

Invests in other mutual funds. One fund holding several. Useful for reaching gold, overseas markets or a ready-made allocation in a single purchase — at the cost of a second layer of fees, and sometimes debt-fund taxation.

How long should money stay in it?

Typically 5 years or more. Investors wanting a packaged allocation or an asset they cannot buy directly.
