TopFund's Take on DSP Nifty Smallcap250 Quality 50 Index Fund - Direct - Growth
DSP Nifty Smallcap250 Quality 50 Index Fund - Direct - Growth sits in the middle of the pack for Small Cap funds, 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 60/100.
Cost: At 0.4%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 48% below the Small Cap category average of 0.77% (based on 255 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 -0.46 — 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 16.82% 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.
