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 Balanced Advantage — the middle fund, not a ranking, and a median rather than an average so that one mis-stated scheme cannot move it.

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.

How it compares in its category

Against the Balanced Advantage 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 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 Balanced Advantage scheme is

Equity and debt moved dynamically, by a model.

The equity share rises when the market looks cheap and falls when it looks expensive, decided by a formula rather than a mood. Read the fund's model — they differ enormously, and it is the entire product.

Who it suits. Investors who want somebody else to decide when to be cautious.

How long money should stay. 3 to 5 years.

Questions people ask

What is the NAV of The Wealth Company Balanced Advantage Fund — Direct Plan — Growth?

₹10.2238 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 The Wealth Company Balanced Advantage 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?

Equity and debt moved dynamically, by a model. The equity share rises when the market looks cheap and falls when it looks expensive, decided by a formula rather than a mood. Read the fund's model — they differ enormously, and it is the entire product.

How long should money stay in it?

Typically 3 to 5 years. Investors who want somebody else to decide when to be cautious.
