TopFund's Take on Helios Financial Services Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option
Helios Financial Services Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option sits in the middle of the pack for Sectoral funds, 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 57/100.
Cost: At 1.15%, the expense ratio runs 16% above the Sectoral category average of 0.99%. 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 -0.14 — 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 18.54% is fairly typical for Sectoral funds.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Equity fund. Given the Very High risk rating, this fund is not suited to short-term goals or investors who may need to exit within 2-3 years.
