TopFund's Take on Kotak Bond Short Term Plan - Regular Plan - Normal Dividend
Kotak Bond Short Term Plan - Regular Plan - Normal Dividend sits in the middle of the pack for Short Term Fund funds, currently carrying a 2-star rating. Returns have been soft relative to what the category has offered — worth checking if this is a temporary phase or a longer pattern. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 56/100.
Cost: At 0.39%, the expense ratio runs 15% above the Short Term Fund category average of 0.34%. 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 -1.31 — 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 6.6% is on the lower side for a Short Term Fund fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Income/Debt Oriented fund.
