Pros & Cons
Strong Long-Term Performance
The fund has delivered a 5-year CAGR of approximately 20.25% as of April 2025, outperforming its benchmark (CRISIL Hybrid 35+65 Aggressive Index) and the category average (19.76–20.68%), making it a solid choice for long-term investors.
Diversified Hybrid Portfolio
The fund allocates 70.20–70.94% to equities (47.33% large-cap, 8.32% mid-cap, 5.15% small-cap) and 25.67–28.21% to debt, with top holdings like HDFC Bank (4.3%), ICICI Bank (4.05%), and Bharti Airtel (3.9%), balancing growth and stability across Financials, Technology, and Communication sectors.
Low Expense Ratio
The Direct Plan’s expense ratio is 0.74–0.80%, significantly lower than the Regular Plan (1.39–2.01%) and the category average, enhancing net returns for investors.
Moderate Volatility
The fund’s standard deviation of 9.80–10.97 indicates moderate volatility compared to pure equity funds, due to its hybrid nature, but it’s still riskier than conservative hybrid or debt funds.
Short-Term Underperformance
The 1-year return ranges from 9.83–14.67% as of April/May 2025, lagging behind the category average (7.47–8.24%) and some peers like Canara Robeco Equity Hybrid Fund, reflecting weaker recent performance.
Exit Load Constraint
A 1% exit load applies for redemptions exceeding 10% of the investment within 365 days, limiting short-term flexibility for investors.
