PaisaSmartPaisaSmart rating★★★★★★★★★★1.5

The fund is rated 1.5 stars. Investment selection within each industry and balance between returns and downside risk provided some support. Investment selection within each asset type was the main limitation and did not provide enough support for a higher rating. Above-average fund size of Rs 82,580.31 crore was a minor drawback.

Why this rating

This fund has a bad track record with Asset Selection/Timing, a ok track record with Stock Selection/Timing, a ok risk-reward ratio. It is important to note, however, that this fund has a 82580.306 AUM and a 1.4 expense ratio. Considering all these factors, we have rated this fund as 1.5 star.

Our score weighs long-term performance, risk and consistency — not just past returns.
