Frequently asked questions
How often has HSBC Corporate Bond Fund beaten its benchmark over 3-year periods?
HSBC Corporate Bond Fund beat its benchmark, NIFTY Corporate Bond Index A-II, in 28.1% of all overlapping 3-year rolling windows in its history. This is different from simply having a positive return - it measures how often the fund's own 3-year CAGR exceeded the benchmark's 3-year CAGR over the exact same dates, which is a more direct read on the manager's stock selection than a single trailing alpha figure computed over one window.
What is HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's 3-year rolling return, and how does it rank?
HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR (median across all rolling 3-year windows in the data) is 7.5%. That places it in the 52nd percentile within its category, Corporate Bond Fund - meaning it has outperformed roughly 52% of peers in the same category over this window. The category median for this metric is 7.5%, so comparing HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's figure against that median shows how much it has beaten (or trailed) a typical fund in this category. Rolling returns average performance across many overlapping windows rather than a single start/end date, which makes them a steadier read on consistency than a simple point-to-point return.
How risky is HSBC Corporate Bond Fund?
HSBC Corporate Bond Fund carries a "Low to Moderate" risk rating on SEBI's mandated riskometer scale, the same standardized classification every Indian mutual fund must disclose. This rating reflects the fund's underlying portfolio composition and historical volatility, and is set independently of any single AMC's own marketing - it's meant to give investors a comparable, at-a-glance sense of how much the fund's value can swing before deciding whether it matches their own risk appetite and investment horizon. A higher-risk rating isn't inherently bad; it typically correlates with higher long-term return potential, but also with larger short-term drawdowns, so it should be read alongside the fund's category and your own time horizon rather than in isolation.
What is HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's expense ratio?
HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.33% per year - the annual fee the AMC deducts from the fund's assets to cover management and operating costs, already reflected in the NAV you see (it isn't billed separately). Direct plans skip the distributor commission built into Regular plans, which is why a direct-plan expense ratio is almost always lower than the same scheme's Regular-plan version. Over long holding periods, even a difference of a few basis points compounds into a meaningfully different final corpus, which is why expense ratio is one of the few fund attributes an investor can compare with total certainty before investing, unlike future returns.
How does HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's expense ratio compare to its category?
HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's expense ratio of 0.33% ranks #6 of 21 funds in the Corporate Bond Fund category (lower is better) - the category median is 0.34%. Expense ratio is deducted from the fund's assets every year regardless of performance, so a lower ratio is a real, certain cost advantage rather than a projection, unlike future returns.
How big is HSBC Corporate Bond Fund, and how does that compare to its category?
HSBC Corporate Bond Fund manages ₹5,808 Cr in assets, ranking #9 of 21 funds by size in the Corporate Bond Fund category - the category median is ₹3,402 Cr. A larger fund generally means deeper liquidity and lower per-unit fixed costs for the AMC to spread across investors, but in categories with a smaller investable universe (like small or mid cap), a very large fund can also face more difficulty entering and exiting positions without moving the price.
What's the best and worst 3-year holding period for HSBC Corporate Bond Fund historically?
Looking at every overlapping 3-year window in HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's history, the best-performing window ran from 2023-03-02 to 2026-03-01, delivering a 8.0% CAGR. The worst-performing window ran from 2023-05-22 to 2026-05-21, delivering a 6.7% CAGR. This is a historical record of actual past outcomes, not a prediction - it shows the real range of results an investor holding for exactly 3 years could have seen depending on entry timing, which is why rolling returns (median across all windows, shown above) are a more representative single number than either extreme.
How concentrated are HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's top holdings?
HSBC Corporate Bond Fund's single largest disclosed holding, Indian Oil Corporation Limited**, accounts for 5.3% of NAV. Its top 5 holdings together make up 18.6% of the portfolio, and its top 10 disclosed holdings make up 31.3% - as of 2026-09-30. A higher concentration in the top few names means the fund's returns lean more heavily on those specific bets paying off, while a flatter spread means no single holding drives outcomes as much either way.
Who manages HSBC Corporate Bond Fund, and what category does it belong to?
HSBC Corporate Bond Fund is managed by HSBC Asset Management (India) Private Ltd. and is classified under the Corporate Bond Fund category, the SEBI-defined scheme categorization that groups funds by their investment mandate (market-cap focus, sector, or asset mix) so investors can compare like-for-like funds rather than across unrelated strategies. The AMC (asset management company) is the regulated entity legally responsible for the fund's operations, portfolio decisions, and disclosures, though day-to-day investment calls are made by a designated fund manager within the mandate set by the scheme's category and stated objective.
