rate_review TopFund's Take on Sundaram Medium Duration Fund (Formerly Known as Sundaram Medium Term Bond Fund) Direct Plan-Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW)

Sundaram Medium Duration Fund (Formerly Known as Sundaram Medium Term Bond Fund) Direct Plan-Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW) lags behind most of its peers in the Medium Duration category, 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 35/100.

Cost: At 1.17%, the expense ratio runs 67% above the Medium Duration category average of 0.7%. 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 -2.29 — 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 2.77% 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.
