Frequently asked questions
Which has a higher 3-year return, Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund or Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund?
Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR of 7.6% is higher than Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund's 18.5%. Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund sits in the 7th percentile of its category on this metric, versus the 100th percentile for Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund - though note both funds may belong to different categories with different medians, so a raw CAGR comparison doesn't account for how each fund performed relative to its own peers. A higher historical return also doesn't necessarily mean lower risk; check the risk metrics below before concluding either fund is the "better" choice.
Which has a lower expense ratio, Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund or Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund?
Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.32 percentage points lower than Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund's. Over long holding periods, a persistent expense-ratio gap compounds into a materially different final corpus even if the two funds' gross returns are similar - it's one of the few fund attributes you can compare with total certainty upfront, unlike future returns, since the fee is contractually fixed rather than a historical estimate.
Which fund carries more risk, Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund or Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund?
By standard deviation (a measure of how much a fund's returns swing around its own average), Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund has been more volatile than Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund over the trailing window. Standard deviation captures total volatility in both directions - up and down - so a higher figure means bigger swings generally, not necessarily bigger losses specifically. Sharpe ratio (0.32 for Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund vs 1.02 for Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund) is a better single measure of risk-adjusted return, since it weighs the return earned per unit of volatility taken rather than volatility alone.
Which has higher AUM, Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund or Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund?
Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund has ₹18,005 Cr in assets under management, versus ₹2,968 Cr for Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund. A larger AUM generally means deeper liquidity and lower per-unit fixed costs for the AMC to spread across investors, but an AUM that's very large relative to a fund's category and strategy (especially in small/mid cap categories, where the investable universe is smaller) can also make it harder for a manager to enter and exit positions without moving the price - bigger isn't automatically better, especially for less liquid categories.
Which fund has a longer track record, Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund or Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund?
Nippon India Multi Asset Allocation Fund launched on 2020-08-07, making it older than Edelweiss Multi Asset Allocation Fund (launched 2023-06-05). A longer track record means more real market cycles (bull runs, corrections, rate cycles) the fund has actually navigated, which is useful context for judging consistency - but it isn't a guarantee of future performance, and a newer fund isn't automatically worse, especially if it's run by an experienced manager or team with a track record at a prior fund.
