Edelweiss NIFTY Large Midcap 250 Index Fund - Regular Plan Payout

Edelweiss NIFTY Large Midcap 250 Index Fund - Regular Plan Payout holds up reasonably well within the Aggressive Hybrid category, currently carrying a 3-star rating. It has delivered steady, if unspectacular, returns over a full market cycle. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 68/100.

Cost: At 0.86%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 15% below the Aggressive Hybrid category average of 1.01% (based on 170 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 -0.22 — 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 14.71% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors who want a single fund blending equity growth with debt-driven stability. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
