TopFund's Take on Zerodha Nifty Short Duration G-Sec Index Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option
Zerodha Nifty Short Duration G-Sec Index Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option holds up reasonably well within the Short Duration category. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 70/100.
Cost: At 0.22%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 45% below the Short Duration category average of 0.4% (based on 120 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 -1.55 — 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 1.5% is on the lower side for a Short Duration fund, 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.
