DSP Nifty Next 50 Index Fund - Regular Plan - Growth

DSP Nifty Next 50 Index Fund - Regular Plan - Growth ranks among the stronger performers in the Large Cap category, backed by a 4-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 81/100.

Cost: At 0.52%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 32% below the Large Cap category average of 0.77% (based on 244 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 modest Sharpe ratio of 0.14 — returns have only marginally compensated for the risk taken. Separately, annualised volatility of 17.09% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to conservative equity investors or those wanting a stable core holding, typically with a 3+ year horizon. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
