TopFund's Take on Sundaram ELSS Tax Saver Fund Regular Plan - Income Distribution CUM Capital Withdrawal Option (IDCW)
Sundaram ELSS Tax Saver Fund Regular Plan - Income Distribution CUM Capital Withdrawal Option (IDCW) lags behind most of its peers in the ELSS category, 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 42/100.
Cost: At 1.77%, the expense ratio runs 67% above the ELSS category average of 1.06%. 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 -1.03 — 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 14.58% is fairly typical for ELSS funds.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors looking to claim the ₹1.5 lakh Section 80C tax deduction, who are comfortable with the mandatory 3-year lock-in. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
