Frequently asked questions
Which has a lower expense ratio, Helios Flexi Cap Fund or ITI Flexi Cap Fund-?
Helios Flexi Cap Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.06 percentage points lower than ITI Flexi Cap 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, Helios Flexi Cap Fund or ITI Flexi Cap Fund-?
By standard deviation (a measure of how much a fund's returns swing around its own average), ITI Flexi Cap Fund- has been more volatile than Helios Flexi Cap 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 (0.41 for Helios Flexi Cap Fund vs 0.56 for ITI Flexi Cap 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, Helios Flexi Cap Fund or ITI Flexi Cap Fund-?
Helios Flexi Cap Fund has ₹8,772 Cr in assets under management, versus ₹1,582 Cr for ITI Flexi Cap 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, Helios Flexi Cap Fund or ITI Flexi Cap Fund-?
ITI Flexi Cap Fund- launched on 2023-01-27, making it older than Helios Flexi Cap Fund (launched 2023-10-23). 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.
