Buying brief
Evidence on this desk, framed as a purchase checklist - not SEBI-registered advice.
As of 28 Oct 2026
Stance
Watch before adding
Recent evidence is mixed. Compare peers before increasing exposure.
In three lines
Fits if · Long-term category-relative performance remains stronger than the most recent rolling 1-year windows, which have deteriorated across multiple periods.
Fits if · Recent return trails the category median by 3 percentage points or more, with a weak rolling win rate.
Prefer peers if · Prefer BANDHAN NIFTY 100 INDEX FUND if you want a same-category peer with stronger evidence.

Expense ratio

n/a
Category relative read still thin.
Manager tenure

Behaviour and wrappers - the usual India MF failure modes - not a buy instruction.
Drawdown rehearsal
This scheme’s worst fall on file is about 28%. 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
Monitor is recent mixed evidence - keep the SIP unless the buying brief says prefer peers, then swap with intent.
