Mutual Fund Screener — Filter 14,000+ Funds Free
The Dhanik MF Screener lets you filter every mutual fund scheme in India — 14,000+ schemes across equity, debt, hybrid, index and solution-oriented categories — using live NAV and disclosed fund data. Instead of browsing fund-house websites one at a time, you set the filters and the screener returns every scheme that qualifies.
What you can filter by
- Category — SEBI scheme categories such as large cap, mid cap, small cap, flexi cap, ELSS, liquid, gilt and more.
- Fund house (AMC) — narrow results to one or more of the 40+ asset management companies in India.
- Returns — trailing 1, 3 and 5-year returns, annualised for periods above a year.
- Cost — expense ratio, one of the few fund characteristics that is guaranteed to affect your outcome.
- Size and rating — assets under management (AUM) and rating, so you can exclude very small or unrated schemes.
How to use it well
A useful screen usually starts wide and narrows in steps: pick a category that matches your goal and horizon (the fund-type quiz helps if you are unsure), then sort by long-term returns rather than last quarter's performance, and compare expense ratios within the shortlist. Direct plans are shown because they carry no distributor commission and therefore compound faster than regular plans of the same scheme — the difference is explained in our expense ratio guide. When your shortlist is down to a handful of funds, put them side by side in the comparison tool or track them for a while in a watchlist before committing money.
Screening is a starting point, not a verdict. Past returns do not guarantee future results, and a screen cannot know your tax situation or risk appetite — treat the output as a research shortlist, not advice.
Frequently asked questions
What is a mutual fund screener?
A screener is a filtering tool that scans the full universe of mutual fund schemes and returns only those matching criteria you choose — category, returns, cost, size and so on. It compresses hours of manual comparison into a few clicks.
Why do results show direct plans?
Every scheme in India is sold as a regular plan (with distributor commission built into the expense ratio) and a direct plan (without it). Because the underlying portfolio is identical, the direct plan's lower cost means a higher return for the same fund, which is why research tools rank direct-growth variants.
Can I export my screen results?
Yes — you can export the filtered table to Excel to work on your shortlist offline or share it.
