Frequently asked questions
How often has Kotak Manufacture in India Fund beaten its benchmark over 3-year periods?
Kotak Manufacture in India Fund beat its benchmark, Nifty India Manufacturing TRI, in 26.01% 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 Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's 3-year rolling return, and how does it rank?
Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR (median across all rolling 3-year windows in the data) is 22.0%. That places it in the 88th percentile within its category, Sectoral/ Thematic - meaning it has outperformed roughly 88% of peers in the same category over this window. The category median for this metric is 17.4%, so comparing Kotak Manufacture in India 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 Kotak Manufacture in India Fund?
Kotak Manufacture in India Fund carries a "Very High" 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 Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's expense ratio?
Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.7674% 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 Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's expense ratio compare to its category?
Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's expense ratio of 0.77% ranks #6 of 174 funds in the Sectoral/ Thematic category (lower is better) - the category median is 1.20%. 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 Kotak Manufacture in India Fund, and how does that compare to its category?
Kotak Manufacture in India Fund manages ₹3,042 Cr in assets, ranking #36 of 174 funds by size in the Sectoral/ Thematic category - the category median is ₹1,271 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 worst drawdown Kotak Manufacture in India Fund has experienced, and how does that compare to its category?
Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's worst peak-to-trough decline over the last 3 years was 22.27%, ranking #66 of 108 funds in the Sectoral/ Thematic category (lower is better) - the category median is 20.66%. Max drawdown measures the deepest loss an investor holding through the worst stretch would have seen, before any recovery - a smaller number means a gentler ride, though it says nothing about how long the fund took to recover.
How has Kotak Manufacture in India Fund performed against its benchmark, Nifty India Manufacturing TRI?
Over a 3-year window, Kotak Manufacture in India Fund has outperformed its benchmark, Nifty India Manufacturing TRI, by 2.8% (alpha). Alpha measures the fund's return in excess of what its benchmark alone would have delivered, after adjusting for the risk taken (beta of 0.91 here) - a positive alpha means the fund manager's stock selection and allocation calls added real value beyond simply tracking the market, while a negative alpha means the fund would have been better replicated by a low-cost index fund tracking the same benchmark. This is a trailing, historical figure and isn't a guarantee of future outperformance.
What's the best and worst 3-year holding period for Kotak Manufacture in India Fund historically?
Looking at every overlapping 3-year window in Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's history, the best-performing window ran from 2022-06-22 to 2025-06-21, delivering a 25.9% CAGR. The worst-performing window ran from 2022-04-08 to 2025-04-07, delivering a 15.7% 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 Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's top holdings?
Kotak Manufacture in India Fund's single largest disclosed holding, SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LTD., accounts for 4.35% of NAV. Its top 5 holdings together make up 19.5% of the portfolio, and its top 10 disclosed holdings make up 35.2% - 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 Kotak Manufacture in India Fund, and what category does it belong to?
Kotak Manufacture in India Fund is managed by Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company Limited. and is classified under the Sectoral/ Thematic 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.
