TopFund's Take on LIC MF Banking and Financial Services Fund-Direct Plan-Growth
LIC MF Banking and Financial Services Fund-Direct Plan-Growth lags behind most of its peers in the Sectoral category, currently carrying a 2-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 43/100.
Cost: At 1.65%, the expense ratio runs 67% above the Sectoral 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 modest Sharpe ratio of 0.05 — returns have only marginally compensated for the risk taken. Separately, annualised volatility of 16.7% is fairly typical for Sectoral 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.
