SweetGrowthSlowAvoidLow riskHigh risk

Safe but slow

Stable but modest returns — suits capital preservation.

Sharpe ratio of 0.21 confirms poor risk-adjusted returns.

🛡️ Downside Protection

If the broader market falls 20%, this fund is expected to fall about 0.1%.

Based on 1Y max drawdown of -0.1% versus a typical market correction of ~-15%. Historical fall ratio ≈ 0.01× market. Above-average protection.

⚠️ Estimate, not a guarantee. Actual market falls vary.

💸 Expense Impact (₹10K/month for 20 years at 12% gross)

  • This fund — Direct (0.23%)₹96.85 L
  • Index fund (0.10%)₹98.57 L
  • Regular plan (~1.50%)₹81.76 L

Choosing this Direct plan over a Regular plan saves about ₹15.09 L. Index fund would still beat it by ₹1.72 L thanks to its lower expense ratio.
