Tata BSE Select Business Groups Index Fund - Regular Growth

Tata BSE Select Business Groups Index Fund - Regular Growth holds up reasonably well within the Index Funds 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 69/100.

Cost: At 0.32%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 18% below the Index Funds category average of 0.39% (based on 975 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 -0.12 — 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 16.41% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to cost-conscious investors happy to simply match the market rather than try to beat it. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
