Aditya Birla Sun Life Transportation and Logistics Fund-Regular Growth

Aditya Birla Sun Life Transportation and Logistics Fund-Regular Growth lags behind most of its peers in the Sectoral/ Thematic category, currently carrying a 3-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 44/100.

Cost: At 2.16%, the expense ratio runs 96% above the Sectoral/ Thematic category average of 1.1%. That gap is worth weighing against the fund's actual performance versus cheaper peers before committing to a long SIP.

Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a moderate Sharpe ratio of 0.5 — decent risk-adjusted performance, without being exceptional. Separately, with 20.01% annualised volatility, this is among the more turbulent funds in its space — expect sharp swings in both directions.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Equity fund. Given the Very High risk rating, this fund is not suited to short-term goals or investors who may need to exit within 2-3 years.
