TopFund's Take on Motilal Oswal Nifty India Defence Index Fund Direct Plan Growth
Motilal Oswal Nifty India Defence Index Fund Direct Plan Growth ranks among the stronger performers in the Thematic category, backed by a 4-star rating. Recent 1-year performance has been notably strong, though momentum like this doesn't always hold over longer periods. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 84/100.
Cost: At 0.56%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 43% below the Thematic category average of 0.99% (based on 873 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 0.86 — decent risk-adjusted performance, without being exceptional. Separately, with 23.92% annualised volatility, this is among the more turbulent funds in the Thematic space — expect sharp swings in both directions.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Equity fund. 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.
