TopFund's Take on HDFC Short Term Debt Fund - Normal IDCW - Direct Plan
HDFC Short Term Debt Fund - Normal IDCW - Direct Plan holds up reasonably well within the Short Duration category, backed by a 4-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 76/100.
Cost: At 0.4%, the expense ratio is roughly in line with the Short Duration category average of 0.4% — 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 -0.49 — 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 1.13% is on the lower side for a Short Duration fund, 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.
