Mahindra Manulife Asia Pacific REITs FOF - Regular Plan - Growth

Mahindra Manulife Asia Pacific REITs FOF - Regular Plan - Growth ranks among the stronger performers in the Flexi Cap category, backed by a 4-star rating. Consistent 3-year performance combined with a strong rating makes this one of the more credible options in its space. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 86/100.

Cost: At 0.73%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 21% below the Flexi Cap category average of 0.92% (based on 302 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 moderate Sharpe ratio of 0.92 — decent risk-adjusted performance, without being exceptional. Separately, annualised volatility of 11.0% is on the lower side, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors who want the fund manager to freely allocate across large, mid and small caps rather than being boxed into one segment. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
