TopFund's Take on DSP Low Duration Fund - Regular Plan - IDCW - Weekly

DSP Low Duration Fund - Regular Plan - IDCW - Weekly lags behind most of its peers in the Ultra Short to 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 0.31%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 18% below the Ultra Short to Short Term Fund category average of 0.38% (based on 103 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 -5.72 — 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 1.16% 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.
