Risk Metrics

Standard Deviation

PeriodFundCategory
1Y 5.64 3.97 High Volatility
3Y 4.40 3.70 High Volatility
5Y 3.62 3.33 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 -0.62 -0.66 Good Risk Adjusted Returns
3Y -0.13 -0.02 Poor Risk Adjusted Returns
5Y -0.17 -0.22 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 -0.84 -0.82 Poor Risk Adjusted Returns
3Y -0.17 0.00 Poor Risk Adjusted Returns
5Y -0.23 -0.28 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 1.06 0.95 Poor Risk Adjusted Returns
3Y 1.22 0.97 Poor Risk Adjusted Returns
5Y 0.98 0.88 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 objective of the Plan is to generate risk-free returns through investments in sovereign securities issued by the Central Government and/or State Government(s) and/or any security unconditionally guaranteed by the Government of India, and/or reverse repos in such securities as and when permitted by RBI. A portion of the fund may be invested in Reverse repo, Triparty repo on Government securities or treasury bills and/or other similar instruments as may be notified to meet the day-to-day liquidity requirements of the Plan. To ensure total safety of Unitholders' funds, the Plan does not invest in any other securities such as shares, debentures or bonds issued by any other entity. The Fund will seek to underwrite issuance of Government Securities if and to the extent permitted by SEBI/RBI and subject to the prevailing rules and regulations specified in this respect and may also participate in their auction from time to time. Subject to the maximum amount permitted from time to time, the Plan may invest in securities abroad, in the manner allowed by SEBI/RBI in conformity with the guidelines, rules and regulations in this respect. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Plan will be achieved. It is however emphasized, that investments under the Plan are made in Government Securities, where there is no risk of default of payment in principal or interest amount.
