TopFund's Take on Nippon India Short Duration Fund-Growth Plan
Nippon India Short Duration Fund-Growth Plan sits in the middle of the pack for Ultra Short Duration funds, currently carrying a 2-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 0.34%, the expense ratio runs 17% above the Ultra Short Duration category average of 0.29%. That gap is worth weighing against the fund's actual performance versus cheaper peers before committing to a long SIP.
Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a negative Sharpe ratio of -0.97 — 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 1.24% 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.
