TopFund's Take on Sundaram Liquid Fund (Formerly Known as Principal Cash Management Fund) -Direct Plan - IDCW
Sundaram Liquid Fund (Formerly Known as Principal Cash Management Fund) -Direct Plan - IDCW holds up reasonably well within the Liquid category, currently carrying a 3-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 68/100.
Cost: At 0.14%, the expense ratio is roughly in line with the Liquid category average of 0.14% — 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 -2.46 — 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 2.43% is on the lower side for a Liquid fund, suggesting a comparatively smoother ride.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to conservative investors prioritising capital stability and predictable income over high growth.
