TopFund's Take on Helios Balanced Advantage Fund- Direct Plan-IDCW Option
Helios Balanced Advantage Fund- Direct Plan-IDCW Option holds up reasonably well within the Dynamic Asset Allocation 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 65/100.
Cost: At 1.3%, the expense ratio runs 35% above the Dynamic Asset Allocation category average of 0.96%. 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 -0.27 — 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 11.06% is on the lower side for a Dynamic Asset Allocation fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Hybrid fund. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
