Helios Mid Cap Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option

Helios Mid Cap Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option holds up reasonably well within the Mid Cap 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 75/100.

Cost: At 0.93%, the expense ratio is roughly in line with the Mid Cap category average of 0.85% — cost isn't a standout factor either way for this fund.

Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a moderate Sharpe ratio of 0.76 — decent risk-adjusted performance, without being exceptional. Separately, annualised volatility of 16.92% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors with a 5+ year horizon comfortable with meaningfully higher volatility than large cap funds. 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.
