Buy checklist
History depth
Watch
3.7 years - usable, still building a track record.
Engine status
Pass
Evidence supports keeping this on a shortlist for a multi-year equity SIP.
Expense ratio
Pass
0.16% TER (Direct). Lower cost compounds on long SIPs.
Drawdown vs peers
Pass
Peak-to-trough -0.3%. Ask whether you can hold through a similar fall.
Vs category
Fail
6% of rolling 3Y windows beat the category median, same plan and option.
Manager tenure
n/a
Manager not listed.
Exit load
n/a
No exit-load summary on file.
Tax / wrapper
Pass
Direct Growth, no ELSS lock flagged. Equity LTCG rules still apply after one year - not tax advice.
Portfolio concentration
Watch
Top 10 holdings ≈ 99.7% of the portfolio.
Evidence supports a shortlist - confirm with peers before you buy elsewhere.
Before you buy or SIP
Behaviour and wrappers - the usual India MF failure modes - not a buy instruction.
Drawdown rehearsal
This scheme’s worst fall on file is about 0%. Before you SIP, ask whether you would keep contributing through a similar drop - pausing on fear is the usual India MF failure mode.
SIP discipline
If you start a SIP here, diary a 90-day check and an annual review - don’t react to every NAV print.
