💡 Higher Sharpe = better risk-adjusted returns. Above 1.0 is good, above 2.0 is excellent. Drawdown is the worst peak-to-trough decline.
Expense ratio: 0.95%
That is ₹950 per year on every ₹1 lakh invested.
10-year impact on ₹1 lakh (assuming 12% gross return)
Without this expense, ₹1 lakh would have grown to ₹3.11 L.
💡 Index funds typically charge 0.10-0.20%. Compare with index funds →
Concentrated in one sector (IT, Pharma, Banking…). Sector cycles can cause extended underperformance.
This is an Equity Fund.

How it stacks up vs alternatives
⚠️ Projection based on past CAGR. Actual returns may vary. Markets are subject to risk; past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Return 3.4% · Risk (std dev) 15.7%
Safe but slow
Stable but modest returns — suits capital preservation.
Sharpe ratio of -0.20 confirms poor risk-adjusted returns.
If the broader market falls 20%, this fund is expected to fall about 22.2%.
Based on 1Y max drawdown of -16.7% versus a typical market correction of ~-15%. Historical fall ratio ≈ 1.11× market. Below-average protection.
⚠️ Estimate, not a guarantee. Actual market falls vary.
Choosing this Direct plan over a Regular plan saves about ₹6.18 L. Index fund would still beat it by ₹10.63 L thanks to its lower expense ratio.
