💡 Higher Sharpe = better risk-adjusted returns. Above 1.0 is good, above 2.0 is excellent. Drawdown is the worst peak-to-trough decline.
Poor risk-adjusted returns
Sharpe ratio of -1.93 means you’re not being adequately compensated for the risk taken.
Negative 1-year returns
This fund has returned -0.5% over the past year. Short-term negative returns are normal for equity — check 3Y/5Y for the full picture.

Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund
Franklin India Government Securities Fund - Direct💡 Ratings are not guarantees. Past performance does not predict future results.
Expense ratio: 0.50%
That is ₹500 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.
Portfolio holdings updated monthly
AMFI publishes scheme portfolios monthly. Check back after the next disclosure cycle for top holdings and sector allocation.
Government securities — zero credit risk but HIGH interest-rate sensitivity. Can gain 15%+ when rates fall, or lose 10%+ when rates rise.
This is an Debt Fund.
💡 Worked example
Invest ₹1,00,000 and gain ₹25,000 over 2 years:
Post-Budget 2025: listed debt funds held over 2 years qualify for 12.5% LTCG (no indexation). Unlisted debt funds need 3 years.
If the broader market falls 20%, this fund is expected to fall about 4.9%.
Based on 1Y max drawdown of -3.7% versus a typical market correction of ~-15%. Historical fall ratio ≈ 0.24× market. Above-average protection.
⚠️ Estimate, not a guarantee. Actual market falls vary.
Choosing this Direct plan over a Regular plan saves about ₹11.64 L. Index fund would still beat it by ₹5.17 L thanks to its lower expense ratio.
