TopFund's Take on DSP Low Duration Fund - Regular Plan - Growth
DSP Low Duration Fund - Regular Plan - Growth holds up reasonably well within the Ultra Short to Short Term Fund 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 73/100.
Cost: At 0.31%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 18% below the Ultra Short to Short Term Fund category average of 0.38% (based on 105 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 negative Sharpe ratio of -0.82 — 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 0.64% is on the lower side for a Ultra Short to 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.
