TopFund Analysis

HDFC Low Duration Fund - Direct Plan - Growth appears stronger based on its higher star rating of 5 and significantly better returns over the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year periods, with a 5-year CAGR of 14.75% compared to Nippon India Nifty 500 Quality 50 Index Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option's lack of available long-term return data and lower star rating of 1. However, while HDFC's expense ratio is slightly higher at 0.75%, it is justified by its superior performance and larger AUM of ₹108546 Cr compared to Nippon India's ₹39 Cr.
