1.17% TER (Direct). Lower cost compounds on long SIPs.
Drawdown vs peers
Watch
Peak-to-trough -35.4%. Ask whether you can hold through a similar fall.
Vs category
Pass
64% of rolling 3Y windows beat the category median, same plan and option.
Manager tenure

Ashit Desai · 2.6 years on the scheme.

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
Pass
Top 10 holdings ≈ 40.6% 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.
Drawdown rehearsal
This scheme’s worst fall on file is about 35%. 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
Review does not mean stop the SIP tomorrow - compare peers first. Stopping on a red label often locks in the worst path.
