Frequently asked questions
Which has a higher 3-year return, quant BFSI Fund or Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund?
quant BFSI Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR of 22.8% is higher than Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund's 18.2%. quant BFSI Fund sits in the 91st percentile of its category on this metric, versus the 61st percentile for Union Innovation & Opportunities 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, quant BFSI Fund or Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund?
Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.94 percentage points lower than quant BFSI 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, quant BFSI Fund or Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund?
By standard deviation (a measure of how much a fund's returns swing around its own average), Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund has been more volatile than quant BFSI 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 (0.53 for quant BFSI Fund vs 0.44 for Union Innovation & Opportunities 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, quant BFSI Fund or Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund?
Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund has ₹1,255 Cr in assets under management, versus ₹854 Cr for quant BFSI 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 a higher yield to maturity (YTM), quant BFSI Fund or Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund?
Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund's portfolio YTM (5.409%) is higher than quant BFSI Fund's. YTM is the weighted-average return a debt fund's current bond holdings would earn if held to maturity, assuming no defaults and coupons reinvested at the same rate - a useful forward-looking yield estimate for debt funds the way rolling CAGR is for equity funds, though it's an estimate based on today's portfolio, not a guaranteed return, and can move as bonds are bought/sold or as interest rates change.
Which fund has a longer track record, quant BFSI Fund or Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund?
quant BFSI Fund launched on 2023-06-01, making it older than Union Innovation & Opportunities Fund (launched 2023-08-16). 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.
