Frequently asked questions
Which has a higher 3-year return, Samco Overnight Fund or Tata Overnight Fund-?
Samco Overnight Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR of 6.1% is higher than Tata Overnight Fund-'s 5.4%. Samco Overnight Fund sits in the 86th percentile of its category on this metric, versus the 33rd percentile for Tata Overnight 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, Samco Overnight Fund or Tata Overnight Fund-?
Tata Overnight Fund-'s direct-plan expense ratio is 0.14 percentage points lower than Samco Overnight 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 Samco Overnight Fund and Tata Overnight 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, Samco Overnight Fund or Tata Overnight Fund-?
Tata Overnight Fund- has ₹8,349 Cr in assets under management, versus ₹33 Cr for Samco Overnight 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), Samco Overnight Fund or Tata Overnight Fund-?
Samco Overnight Fund's portfolio YTM (5.49%) is higher than Tata Overnight 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, Samco Overnight Fund or Tata Overnight Fund-?
Tata Overnight Fund- launched on 2019-03-25, making it older than Samco Overnight Fund (launched 2022-10-04). 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.
