TopFund's Take on LIC MF Balanced Advantage Fund-Direct Plan-Growth
LIC MF Balanced Advantage Fund-Direct Plan-Growth holds up reasonably well within the Dynamic Asset Allocation category, backed by a 4-star rating. It has delivered steady, if unspectacular, returns over a full market cycle. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 79/100.
Cost: At 0.89%, the expense ratio is roughly in line with the Dynamic Asset Allocation category average of 0.96% — cost isn't a standout factor either way for this fund.
Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a negative Sharpe ratio of -0.33 — 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 9.29% is on the lower side for a Dynamic Asset Allocation fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Hybrid fund. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
