TopFund's Take on Sundaram Focused Fund (Formerly Known as Principal Focused Multicap Fund)-Growth Option
Sundaram Focused Fund (Formerly Known as Principal Focused Multicap Fund)-Growth Option sits in the middle of the pack for Flexi Cap 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 53/100.
Cost: At 1.33%, the expense ratio runs 56% above the Flexi Cap category average of 0.85%. 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 -0.14 — 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 13.07% is fairly typical for Flexi Cap 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.
