Anything over a year is annualised (CAGR); shorter windows are absolute. The benchmark row is the index's own Total Return Index, as published by NSE, measured to 11 Nov 2026. The category row is the median Regular 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 11 Nov 2026.

The worst it has been

Deepest fallTime to recoverToday, from its peak
-9.1%1 monthsAt a high
0%-3%-7%-10%
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.

Every one-year period it has lived through

Best yearMedian yearWorst yearLosing years
———0%

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.

What it actually holds

The real portfolio the AMC filed with AMFI, as on 30 Sep 2026. 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.

Asset allocation

93.65%Equity
6.35%Cash & Equivalents

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.

How it compares in its category

Against the Value / Contra 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 500 TRI. 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 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 Motilal Oswal Contra Fund — Regular Plan — Growth?

₹11.0313 as on 11 Nov 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 Motilal Oswal Contra 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. As an illustration, not a forecast: ₹1,00,000 invested for ten years at 12% a year ends at about ₹3.11 lakh, but at 10.5% — a 1.5 percentage-point gap and nothing else changed — it ends at about ₹2.71 lakh, roughly ₹40,000 less. The longer you hold, the wider the gap. 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?

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.

How long should money stay in it?

Typically 7 to 10 years. Patient investors who understand that being early looks identical to being wrong.
