TopFund's Take on LIC MF Short Duration Fund-Direct Plan-Growth
LIC MF Short Duration Fund-Direct Plan-Growth sits in the middle of the pack for Short Duration funds, 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 63/100.
Cost: At 0.36%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 10% below the Short Duration category average of 0.4% (based on 120 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 -0.42 — 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 1.32% is on the lower side for a Short Duration fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Debt fund.
