TopFund's Take on Sundaram Services Fund Direct Plan - Payout of Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW)
Sundaram Services Fund Direct Plan - Payout of Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW) lags behind most of its peers in the Sectoral/ Thematic category, currently carrying a 2-star rating. Returns have been soft relative to what the category has offered — worth checking if this is a temporary phase or a longer pattern. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 48/100.
Cost: At 0.37%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 14% below the Sectoral/ Thematic category average of 0.43% (based on 84 comparable funds). Lower costs compound in your favour over long holding periods.
Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a negative Sharpe ratio of -0.74 — 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 18.62% is fairly typical for Sectoral/ Thematic funds.
Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Equity fund. Given the Very High risk rating, this fund is not suited to short-term goals or investors who may need to exit within 2-3 years.
