TopFund's Take on Bandhan Short Duration Fund - Regular Plan - Annual IDCW

Bandhan Short Duration Fund - Regular Plan - Annual IDCW lags behind most of its peers in the Short Term Fund category, currently carrying a 2-star rating. Returns have been soft relative to what the category has offered — worth checking if this is a temporary phase or a longer pattern. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 48/100.

Cost: At 0.36%, the expense ratio is roughly in line with the Short Term Fund category average of 0.34% — cost isn't a standout factor either way for this fund.

Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a negative Sharpe ratio of -1.14 — 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 6.25% 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.
