TopFund's Take on Kotak Dividend Yield Fund - Direct - IDCW
Kotak Dividend Yield Fund - Direct - IDCW sits in the middle of the pack for Thematic funds. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 56/100.
Cost: At 1.1045%, the expense ratio runs 12% above the Thematic category average of 0.99%. 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 -0.92 — 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 14.5% is fairly typical for Thematic funds.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Equity fund. 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.
