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 16.96% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.
