Baroda BNP Paribas Health and Wellness Fund Regular Growth

Baroda BNP Paribas Health and Wellness Fund Regular Growth holds up reasonably well within the Sectoral category, backed by a 4-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 71/100.

Cost: At 1.04%, the expense ratio is roughly in line with the Sectoral category average of 1.05% — 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 -0.14 — 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 12.01% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.

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.
