Buying brief
Evidence on this desk, framed as a purchase checklist - not SEBI-registered advice.
As of 29 Oct 2026
Stance
Prefer peers first
The live read flags issues. Inspect same-category alternatives before buying.
In three lines
Watch if · Long-term category-relative performance remains stronger than the most recent rolling 1-year windows, which have deteriorated across multiple periods.
Watch if · Maximum drawdown exceeded 35%.
Prefer peers if · Prefer Bandhan US specific Equity Active FOF if you want a same-category peer with stronger evidence.

9.9 years of path to read.
Engine status

The live read flags issues. Inspect same-category alternatives before buying.
Expense ratio
Pass
0.75% TER (Direct). Lower cost compounds on long SIPs.
Drawdown vs peers
Watch
Peak-to-trough -54.4%. Ask whether you can hold through a similar fall.
Vs category
Watch
42% 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 ≈ 100.0% of the portfolio.
Same-category peers are preloaded into compare when available.
Behaviour and wrappers - the usual India MF failure modes - not a buy instruction.
SIP discipline
Review does not mean stop the SIP tomorrow - compare peers first. Stopping on a red label often locks in the worst path.
NAV
Path not in current snapshots
n/a
Trailing CAGR and simulated monthly SIP XIRR from daily NAV. Category comparison uses the median of comparable share classes in the peer set.
Trailing CAGR
Point-to-point, calendar-day annualized
SIP XIRR
Equal monthly instalments to latest NAV
Peak to trough from a running NAV high, with the path and recovery episodes.
