TopFund's Take on ICICI Prudential Short Term Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option
ICICI Prudential Short Term Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option ranks among the stronger performers in the Short Duration category, backed by a 5-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 84/100.
Cost: At 0.45%, the expense ratio runs 12% above the Short Duration category average of 0.4%. 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 -0.01 — 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 1.19% is on the lower side for a Short Duration fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Debt fund.
