TopFund's Take on HDFC Low Duration Fund - Daily IDCW
HDFC Low Duration Fund - Daily IDCW lags behind most of its peers in the Ultra Short to Short Term Fund category, 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 48/100.
Cost: At 0.46%, the expense ratio runs 21% above the Ultra Short to Short Term Fund category average of 0.38%. That gap is worth weighing against the fund's actual performance versus cheaper peers before committing to a long SIP.
Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a negative Sharpe ratio of -16.52 — 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 0.4% is on the lower side for a Ultra Short to Short Term Fund fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Income/Debt Oriented fund.
