Decent · 62/100
A solid option with a few areas worth a closer look.
🎯 Best held for the long term (5+ years) as part of a diversified portfolio.
📈 Why it could do well
- ✓Protects capital well — worst-ever fall was only 16%.
- ✓Low cost — 0.54% expense ratio means more of the return stays with you.
- ✓Max drawdown: -16%
- ✓Direct plan: no distributor commission
📉 What could drag it down
- •Weak risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe 0.28) — took on risk without enough payoff.
- •Short track record — not enough history yet to judge long-term performance; treat the score as provisional.
- •Sharpe ratio: 0.28
- •Sortino ratio: 0.40
