TopFund's Take on Axis Short Duration Fund - Regular Plan - Weekly IDCW

Axis Short Duration Fund - Regular Plan - Weekly IDCW lags behind most of its peers in the Short Term Fund category, currently carrying a 2-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 46/100.

Cost: At 0.4%, the expense ratio runs 18% above the Short Term Fund category average of 0.34%. 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 negative Sharpe ratio of -4.45 — over the past year, returns haven't kept pace with the volatility involved, even before accounting for the risk-free rate. Separately, annualised volatility of 1.49% is on the lower side for a Short Term Fund fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.

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