Frequently asked questions

Which has a higher 3-year return, ITI Dynamic Term Fund or PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund?

PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR of 8.4% is higher than ITI Dynamic Term Fund's 7.2%. PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund sits in the 86th percentile of its category on this metric, versus the 23rd percentile for ITI Dynamic Term 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, ITI Dynamic Term Fund or PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund?

ITI Dynamic Term Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.20 percentage points lower than PGIM India Dynamic Term 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.

Why don't ITI Dynamic Term Fund and PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund show risk metrics like Sharpe ratio or alpha?

Risk metrics aren't shown for debt funds. Their NAV starts near Rs 10 and compounds steadily, so CAGR, beta and drawdown measure the arithmetic rather than the manager. This is a deliberate methodology choice, not missing data - risk metrics like alpha and Sharpe ratio are most meaningful for actively-managed funds where a manager makes decisions that can add or subtract value versus a benchmark. For a fund that mechanically tracks an index, the equivalent useful metric is tracking error (how closely it follows its index), not alpha.

Which has higher AUM, ITI Dynamic Term Fund or PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund?

PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund has ₹75 Cr in assets under management, versus ₹22 Cr for ITI Dynamic Term 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 has longer duration (more interest-rate sensitivity), ITI Dynamic Term Fund or PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund?

PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund has the longer Macaulay duration of the two, meaning its NAV is more sensitive to interest-rate changes - a longer-duration debt fund tends to gain more when rates fall and lose more when rates rise, compared to a shorter-duration fund. Duration is expressed in years but isn't literally about how long you hold the fund; it's a measure of price sensitivity to rate moves. If you expect rates to fall, the longer-duration fund benefits more; if you expect rates to rise or want to minimize that swing, the shorter-duration fund is the more conservative pick.

Which fund has a longer track record, ITI Dynamic Term Fund or PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund?

PGIM India Dynamic Term Fund launched on 2012-01-03, making it older than ITI Dynamic Term Fund (launched 2021-06-25). 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.
