Buy checklist
History depth

1.1 years - thin for judging consistency.
Engine status

Recent evidence is mixed. Compare peers before increasing exposure.
Expense ratio
Pass
0.57% TER (Direct). Lower cost compounds on long SIPs.
Drawdown vs peers
Pass
Peak-to-trough -12.1%. Ask whether you can hold through a similar fall.
Vs category
n/a
Category relative read still thin.
Manager tenure

Manager not listed.
Exit load

SIP discipline
Monitor is recent mixed evidence - keep the SIP unless the buying brief says prefer peers, then swap with intent.
