Mirae Asset Midcap Fund Direct IDCW

Mirae Asset Midcap Fund Direct IDCW sits in the middle of the pack for Mid Cap Fund funds, currently carrying a 1-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 62/100.

Cost: At 0.59%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 32% below the Mid Cap Fund category average of 0.87% (based on 18 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 -0.13 — 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 18.13% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors with a 5+ year horizon comfortable with meaningfully higher volatility than large cap funds. 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.
