TopFund's Take on BANDHAN SMALL CAP FUND - DIRECT PLAN GROWTH
BANDHAN SMALL CAP FUND - DIRECT PLAN GROWTH ranks among the stronger performers in the Small Cap category, backed by a 5-star rating. Consistent 3-year performance combined with a strong rating makes this one of the more credible options in its space. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 98/100.
Cost: At 0.58%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 25% below the Small Cap category average of 0.77% (based on 253 comparable funds). Lower costs compound in your favour over long holding periods.
Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a moderate Sharpe ratio of 0.6 — decent risk-adjusted performance, without being exceptional. Separately, annualised volatility of 16.09% is fairly typical for Small Cap funds.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors with a 7-10 year horizon who can stomach 30-40% drawdowns in a bad year in exchange for higher long-term growth potential. 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.
