TopFund's Take on ICICI Prudential Ultra Short Term Fund - Direct Plan - Quarterly IDCW
ICICI Prudential Ultra Short Term Fund - Direct Plan - Quarterly IDCW holds up reasonably well within the Ultra Short Duration category, 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 69/100.
Cost: At 0.4%, the expense ratio runs 38% above the Ultra Short Duration category average of 0.29%. 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 -1.98 — 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 3.2% is on the lower side for a Ultra 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.
