Axis Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF - Regular Plan - Growth Option ranks among the stronger performers in the Dynamic Bond category, backed by a 5-star rating. It has delivered steady, if unspectacular, returns over a full market cycle. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 82/100.

Cost: At 0.06%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 89% below the Dynamic Bond category average of 0.57% (based on 176 comparable funds). Lower costs compound in your favour over long holding periods.

Separately, annualised volatility of 0.86% is on the lower side, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Debt fund.
