Old Bridge Focused Fund - Regular IDCW

Old Bridge Focused Fund - Regular IDCW holds up reasonably well within the Flexi Cap 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 1.15%, the expense ratio runs 25% above the Flexi Cap category average of 0.92%. 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 modest Sharpe ratio of 0.46 — returns have only marginally compensated for the risk taken. Separately, annualised volatility of 15.51% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.

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.
