rate_review TopFund's Take on DSP Short Term Fund - Direct Plan - IDCW

DSP Short Term Fund - Direct Plan - IDCW sits in the middle of the pack for Short Duration 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 0.37%, the expense ratio is roughly in line with the Short Duration category average of 0.37% — 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 -1.22 — 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 5.94% is on the lower side, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Debt fund.
