rate_review TopFund's Take on Sundaram Low Duration Fund (Formerly Known as Principal Low Duration Fund)- Growth Option

Sundaram Low Duration Fund (Formerly Known as Principal Low Duration Fund)- Growth Option sits in the middle of the pack for Low Duration funds, 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 64/100.

Cost: At 0.41%, the expense ratio runs 28% above the Low Duration category average of 0.32%. 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 -1.77 — 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 0.56% 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 Debt fund.
