Kotak Aggressive Hybrid Fund - Regular Plan -Growth

Kotak Aggressive Hybrid Fund - Regular Plan -Growth ranks among the stronger performers in the Aggressive Hybrid category, backed by a 4-star rating. Consistent 3-year performance combined with a strong rating makes this one of the more credible options in its space. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 88/100.

Cost: At 0.61%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 39% below the Aggressive Hybrid category average of 1.0% (based on 164 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 negative Sharpe ratio of -0.2 — 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 12.71% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors who want a single fund blending equity growth with debt-driven stability. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
