Frequently asked questions
How often has Axis Treasury Advantage Fund beaten its benchmark over 3-year periods?
Axis Treasury Advantage Fund beat its benchmark, NIFTY Low Duration Debt Index A-I, in 39.67% of all overlapping 3-year rolling windows in its history. This is different from simply having a positive return - it measures how often the fund's own 3-year CAGR exceeded the benchmark's 3-year CAGR over the exact same dates, which is a more direct read on the manager's stock selection than a single trailing alpha figure computed over one window.
What is Axis Treasury Advantage Fund's 3-year rolling return, and how does it rank?
Axis Treasury Advantage Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR (median across all rolling 3-year windows in the data) is 7.7%. That places it in the 75th percentile within its category, Low Duration Fund - meaning it has outperformed roughly 75% of peers in the same category over this window. The category median for this metric is 7.5%, so comparing Axis Treasury Advantage Fund'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 Axis Treasury Advantage Fund?
Axis Treasury Advantage Fund carries a "Low to Moderate" 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 Axis Treasury Advantage Fund's expense ratio?
Axis Treasury Advantage Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.37% 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 Axis Treasury Advantage Fund's expense ratio compare to its category?
Axis Treasury Advantage Fund's expense ratio of 0.37% ranks #12 of 25 funds in the Low Duration Fund category (lower is better) - the category median is 0.35%. 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 Axis Treasury Advantage Fund, and how does that compare to its category?
Axis Treasury Advantage Fund manages ₹4,767 Cr in assets, ranking #8 of 25 funds by size in the Low Duration Fund category - the category median is ₹1,820 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 Axis Treasury Advantage Fund historically?
Looking at every overlapping 3-year window in Axis Treasury Advantage Fund's history, the best-performing window ran from 2013-07-28 to 2016-07-27, delivering a 9.5% CAGR. The worst-performing window ran from 2020-07-10 to 2023-07-10, delivering a 5.1% 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 Axis Treasury Advantage Fund's top holdings?
Axis Treasury Advantage Fund's single largest disclosed holding, 7.62% National Bank For Agriculture and Rural Development (31/01/2028) **, accounts for 4.37% of NAV. Its top 5 holdings together make up 17.8% of the portfolio, and its top 10 disclosed holdings make up 28.7% - 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 Axis Treasury Advantage Fund, and what category does it belong to?
Axis Treasury Advantage Fund is managed by Axis Asset Management Co. Ltd. and is classified under the Low Duration Fund 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.
