Disclaimer:
-
Fund size, expense ratio, turnover ratio and duration are latest available
returns up to 1 year are absolute, returns in excess of 1 year are compounded annualized - NA: not applicable since the fund hasn’t yet completed the relevant tenor
- Passively managed funds like index funds and exchange-traded funds aim to mimic their benchmark indices so their outperformance or underperformance does not matter.
- As this is an exchange-traded fund, a demat account is necessary to buy and sell its units.
- Dividend plan considered instead of growth on account of lack of latter’s history.
- Considered under different categories by Value Research’s classification, but we have put them in the mid-cap category on account of their nature.
