TopFund's Take on LIC MF Banking & PSU Fund-Direct Plan-Growth
LIC MF Banking & PSU Fund-Direct Plan-Growth holds up reasonably well within the Banking and PSU category, currently carrying a 3-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 66/100.
Cost: At 0.28%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 20% below the Banking and PSU category average of 0.35% (based on 143 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 -0.89 — 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 1.23% is on the lower side for a Banking and PSU fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to conservative investors prioritising capital stability and predictable income over high growth.
