Samco Large Cap Fund
Direct–Growth is the plan and option we treat as this fund's main page, so search engines are pointed there. Everything below is this filing's own data.
Fund basics
Everything the NAV says
Computed from 350 published NAVs between 28 Mar 2025 and 28 Aug 2026 — 1.4 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samco Large Cap Fund Regular | 2.71 | -2.68 | -4.01 | -4.92 | — | — | — | — | -6.44 |
| Nifty 100 benchmark | 0.25 | 3.49 | -1.52 | 1.84 | 10.52 | 9.38 | — | — | 12.79 |
| Large Cap category median · 37 funds | — | — | — | -0.10 | 11.10 | 9.99 | — | 11.64 | — |
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 Large Cap — 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samco Large Cap Fund Regular | 10.74 | -1.21 | -1.58 | 0.49 | -12.20 | -13.54 |
| Nifty 100 benchmark | 17.12 | 0.23 | 0.32 | — | — | -37.03 |
Risk-free rate 6.5%. Beta and alpha need an index, so the benchmark's own row leaves them blank.
Against its benchmark
Regressed on the 17 months this fund and Nifty 100 (via Axis Nifty 100 Index Fund) both have. Alpha is Jensen's — the return left over after the market move this fund's own beta would predict.
| Alpha | Beta | R² | Fund vs index | Up capture | Down capture | Tracking error | Information ratio | Treynor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -12.20% | 0.49 | 49% | -11.90% | 15% | 63% | 10.45% | -1.14 | -25.66 |
Up and down capture are the pair worth reading together: a fund that takes 95% of the rises but only 80% of the falls is doing something a headline CAGR will never show you.
Risk
| Volatility | Downside volatility | Sharpe | Sortino |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10.7% | 8.2% | -1.21 | -1.58 |
Risk-free rate 6.5%, roughly the 10-year government bond.
The worst it has been
| Deepest fall | Time to recover | Today, from its peak |
|---|---|---|
| -13.5% | — | -10.8% |
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.
Calendar years
How it compares in its category
Against the Large Cap Regular 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 Nifty 100. 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 Large Cap scheme is
Funds that must keep at least 80% in India's 100 biggest listed companies.
The steadiest way to own Indian equity. These are businesses everybody already researches, so a manager rarely finds a bargain nobody else has seen — which is exactly why so many large-cap funds struggle to beat their index after fees.
Who it suits. Somebody making their first equity investment, or anybody who wants equity returns without the swings of smaller companies.
How long money should stay. 5 years or more.
Questions people ask
What is the NAV of Samco Large Cap Fund — Regular Plan — Growth?
₹9.0900 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 Samco Large Cap 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.
