Risk Metrics

Standard Deviation

PeriodFundCategory
1Y 14.70 17.76 Low Volatility
3Y 16.14 15.77 High Volatility
5Y 14.74 14.35 High Volatility
What is this?

Risk as measured by standard deviation is a statistical measure that quantifies the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of data points relative to its mean (average).

Sharpe Ratio

PeriodFundCategory
1Y -0.29 -0.39 Good Risk Adjusted Returns
3Y 0.50 0.38 Good Risk Adjusted Returns
5Y 0.53 0.49 Good Risk Adjusted Returns
What is this?

Higher the value means that fund has been able to give better returns for the amount of risk taken. It helps investors understand the return of an investment compared to its risk, showing whether the returns are due to intelligent investing or simply taking on excess risk. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free return, defined as an Indian Government Bond, from the fund's returns, and then dividing by the standard deviation of returns.

Sortino Ratio

PeriodFundCategory
1Y -0.36 -0.47 Good Risk Adjusted Returns
3Y 0.74 0.54 Good Risk Adjusted Returns
5Y 0.81 0.75 Good Risk Adjusted Returns
What is this?

The Sortino Ratio is a financial metric used to measure the risk-adjusted return of an investment. It's a modification of the Sharpe Ratio but with a key difference; it only considers downside risk (the risk of negative returns), rather than total volatility. This means it focuses on how well an investment performs relative to the volatility that leads to losses, ignoring the volatility that results in gains. The idea is that investors are primarily concerned with minimizing losses, and positive volatility is generally seen as a good thing.

Beta

PeriodFundCategory
1Y 0.96 0.96 None
3Y 1.01 0.98 Poor Risk Adjusted Returns
5Y 0.98 0.95 Poor Risk Adjusted Returns
What is this?

This value gives idea about how volatile fund performance has been compared to similar funds in the market. Lower beta implies the fund gives more predictable performance compared to similar funds in the market.

About This Scheme

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate capital appreciation from a diversified portfolio of equity and equity related instruments.The Scheme will invest in stocks of companies, which are fundamentally sound but are undervalued.Undervalued stocks are stocks of those companies whose true long term potential is not yet recognised by the market. At times, the broad market takes time to appreciate the long-term potential of some fundamentally sound companies. Stocks of such companies are traded at prices below their intrinsic value and are regarded as undervalued stocks.We believe that, over a period of time, the price of a stock reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying company. Thus, the moving up of the price of the undervalued stock towards its intrinsic value will help us generate capital appreciation for investors.There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved.

The asset allocation under the Scheme, under normal circumstances, will be as follows: Investments Indicative Allocation Equity and Equity related Securities - 80% to 100% Debt and Money Market Securities - 0% to 20% Units of Gold/Silver ETF- 0% to 20% Units issued by InvITs - 0% to 20%
