TopFund's Take on LIC MF Short Duration Fund-Direct Plan-IDCW
LIC MF Short Duration Fund-Direct Plan-IDCW holds up reasonably well within the Ultra Short Duration category, backed by a 4-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 72/100.
Cost: At 0.25%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 14% below the Ultra Short Duration category average of 0.29% (based on 215 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 Ultra 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.
