Frequently asked questions
What is Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's 3-year rolling return, and how does it rank?
Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's 3-year rolling CAGR (median across all rolling 3-year windows in the data) is 7.6%. That places it in the 25th percentile within its category, Index Funds - meaning it has outperformed roughly 25% of peers in the same category over this window. The category median for this metric is 12.7%, so comparing Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's figure against that median shows how much it has beaten (or trailed) a typical fund in this category. Rolling returns average performance across many overlapping windows rather than a single start/end date, which makes them a steadier read on consistency than a simple point-to-point return.
How risky is Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth?
Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth carries a "Low" risk rating on SEBI's mandated riskometer scale, the same standardized classification every Indian mutual fund must disclose. This rating reflects the fund's underlying portfolio composition and historical volatility, and is set independently of any single AMC's own marketing - it's meant to give investors a comparable, at-a-glance sense of how much the fund's value can swing before deciding whether it matches their own risk appetite and investment horizon. A higher-risk rating isn't inherently bad; it typically correlates with higher long-term return potential, but also with larger short-term drawdowns, so it should be read alongside the fund's category and your own time horizon rather than in isolation.
What is Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's expense ratio?
Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.21% per year - the annual fee the AMC deducts from the fund's assets to cover management and operating costs, already reflected in the NAV you see (it isn't billed separately). Direct plans skip the distributor commission built into Regular plans, which is why a direct-plan expense ratio is almost always lower than the same scheme's Regular-plan version. Over long holding periods, even a difference of a few basis points compounds into a meaningfully different final corpus, which is why expense ratio is one of the few fund attributes an investor can compare with total certainty before investing, unlike future returns.
How does Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's expense ratio compare to its category?
Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's expense ratio of 0.21% ranks #20 of 381 funds in the Index Funds category (lower is better) - the category median is 0.36%. Expense ratio is deducted from the fund's assets every year regardless of performance, so a lower ratio is a real, certain cost advantage rather than a projection, unlike future returns.
How big is Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth, and how does that compare to its category?
Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth manages ₹3,175 Cr in assets, ranking #22 of 381 funds by size in the Index Funds category - the category median is ₹176 Cr. A larger fund generally means deeper liquidity and lower per-unit fixed costs for the AMC to spread across investors, but in categories with a smaller investable universe (like small or mid cap), a very large fund can also face more difficulty entering and exiting positions without moving the price.
What's the best and worst 3-year holding period for Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth historically?
Looking at every overlapping 3-year window in Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's history, the best-performing window ran from 2022-06-07 to 2025-06-06, delivering a 8.4% CAGR. The worst-performing window ran from 2022-02-17 to 2025-02-16, delivering a 6.0% CAGR. This is a historical record of actual past outcomes, not a prediction - it shows the real range of results an investor holding for exactly 3 years could have seen depending on entry timing, which is why rolling returns (median across all windows, shown above) are a more representative single number than either extreme.
How concentrated are Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's top holdings?
Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth's single largest disclosed holding, State Government Securities (29/03/2027), accounts for 5.4207% of NAV. Its top 5 holdings together make up 24.3% of the portfolio, and its top 10 disclosed holdings make up 39.6% - as of 2026-09-30. A higher concentration in the top few names means the fund's returns lean more heavily on those specific bets paying off, while a flatter spread means no single holding drives outcomes as much either way.
Who manages Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth, and what category does it belong to?
Aditya Birla Sun Life Nifty SDL Apr 2027 Index Fund-Direct Growth is managed by Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Limited and is classified under the Index Funds category, the SEBI-defined scheme categorization that groups funds by their investment mandate (market-cap focus, sector, or asset mix) so investors can compare like-for-like funds rather than across unrelated strategies. The AMC (asset management company) is the regulated entity legally responsible for the fund's operations, portfolio decisions, and disclosures, though day-to-day investment calls are made by a designated fund manager within the mandate set by the scheme's category and stated objective.
