rate_review TopFund's Take on HDFC Low Duration Fund - Direct Plan - Monthly IDCW
HDFC Low Duration Fund - Direct Plan - Monthly IDCW holds up reasonably well within the Low Duration category, currently carrying a 3-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 70/100.
Cost: At 0.46%, the expense ratio runs 39% above the Low Duration category average of 0.33%. 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 -3.17 — 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 2.14% 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.
