rate_review TopFund's Take on Sundaram Dividend Yield Fund (Formerly Known as Principal Dividend Yield Fund) - Direct Plan - Growth Option
Sundaram Dividend Yield Fund (Formerly Known as Principal Dividend Yield Fund) - Direct Plan - Growth Option sits in the middle of the pack for Thematic 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 51/100.
Cost: At 1.2%, the expense ratio is roughly in line with the Thematic category average of 1.13% — cost isn't a standout factor either way for this fund.
Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a negative Sharpe ratio of -0.66 — 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 11.16% is on the lower side, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
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.
This is an automated, data-driven analysis based on the fund's own metrics and its category peers — not personalized investment advice. Consult a SEBI-registered advisor before investing.
