TopFund's Take on ICICI Prudential Nifty Smallcap 250 Index Fund - Direct Plan - IDCW
ICICI Prudential Nifty Smallcap 250 Index Fund - Direct Plan - IDCW holds up reasonably well within the Small Cap category, currently carrying a 2-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 73/100.
Cost: At 0.37%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 52% below the Small Cap category average of 0.77% (based on 253 comparable funds). Lower costs compound in your favour over long holding periods.
Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a modest Sharpe ratio of 0.22 — returns have only marginally compensated for the risk taken. Separately, annualised volatility of 17.23% is fairly typical for Small Cap funds.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors with a 7-10 year horizon who can stomach 30-40% drawdowns in a bad year in exchange for higher long-term growth potential. 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.
