TopFund's Take on Edelweiss Government Securities Fund - Direct Plan - Annual Dividend Option
Edelweiss Government Securities Fund - Direct Plan - Annual Dividend Option ranks among the stronger performers in the Mid Cap category, backed by a 5-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 96/100.
Cost: At 0.68%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 12% below the Mid Cap category average of 0.77% (based on 227 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 -1.55 — 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 7.48% is on the lower side for a Mid Cap fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors with a 5+ year horizon comfortable with meaningfully higher volatility than large cap funds. 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.
