With millions of investors holding investments across multiple schemes and asset management companies (AMCs), tracking every investment separately can become difficult. This is where a consolidated MF statement becomes useful.

Understanding how to read this statement can help investors stay informed about their investments and make more informed decisions.

What Is a Consolidated Account Statement (CAS)?

A mutual fund consolidated account statement is a single or combined statement that displays monthly transaction details for investors across mutual funds and other securities held in their demat accounts. (Source: SEBI)

Instead of receiving separate statements for each scheme or AMC, investors receive a single consolidated account statement mutual fund report containing details of their holdings across participating mutual fund schemes.

The CAS is generally sent electronically and may be generated periodically when transactions occur in the investor's folios.

A CAS can help investors:

• Track investment activity across schemes

• Monitor portfolio allocation
