Know these 6 parameters including rolling returns, sharp, alpha before putting money in mutual funds, you will be able to choose the Best Fund

Mutual fund The number of investors investing in has increased rapidly. However, still many investors do not know how the track record of the fund in which they are investing. He selects a fund on the advice of a mutual fund advisor or friend-relative and invests money. By doing this a lot of investors have to suffer loss later as the performance of the fund does not as expected. At the same time, if the investor knows some parameters before investing, then he will not only be able to choose the right fund but will also be able to take better returns at low risk.

Let us tell you that the most important aspect that is measured when analyzing the performance of any mutual funds is how much returns the scheme has given in different periods. The most important thing is that what has been the rolling return of the fund in different periods? This parameter reveals the stability of the fund. For example, the 5-year rolling returns of the fund over a period of 10–15 years can be used to measure the average medium, minimum and maximum returns, time-limit ratio in which it performs better than its benchmark.

Understand these 6 parameters before investment

Mutual fund The primary analysis of the performance of the scheme is based on the stability of returns in many rolling periods. Several major risk ratios are used to measure how a fund has performed. The major parameters here are sharp, sortino and traineor ratio. Some other important measures are Jenson’s alpha and up/down capture ratio.

Sharp ratio

This shows how much extra returns you took in exchange for the risk you took. The more sharp ratio in a fund, the better fund. This means more returns in low risk.

Sortino ratio

It is like sharp, but it only sees the negative voliticity. Good returns in sharp are also considered risk, but Sortino only considers bad days to risk. If the sortino is high, it means that the fund managed the Downside Risk well.

Traineor ratio

It suggests how much a fund has performed better from the market, when only a cystometric risk ie beta was seen. If the fund is more and still the traineor ratio is good, the fund has given good performance.

Alpha

This shows how much extra returns the fund manager made separately from the benchmark. If the benchmark gave 10% and the fund should have been 12%, and only 1% should have been made according to beta – but the fund made 2%, then alpha = 1%

Up/Down capture ratio

It explains how the fund performed at the time of market climbing (up) or fall. The upside captured ratio of a fund indicates how much his NAV increases compared to the benchmark during the rally. The downside capture ratio indicates how the NAV of the scheme is compared to the benchmark. Therefore, more than one up/down capture ratio indicates that the fund performs well during the rally and falls less during improvement.

Rolling returns

It measures returns on consecutive time intervals (eg 1 year rolling, 3 years rolling). The fund that gave good rolling returns continuously is considered reliable.

Examples of this fund to understand this fund

If we take ICICI Prudential Multi-Asset Fund, this fund has performed better on the basis of these 6 parameters. The sharp ratio of ICICI Prudential Multi-Asset Fund is 0.63, the highest in this category (the average ratio in the category is 0.42). The traineore ratio of the fund is 2.72, which is much higher than the category average 1.68. This fund invests in equity, date and commodity to reduce risk and give better returns. If you look at the average return of 5 years, 15–17% is CAGR. The sharp ratio ranges between 1.3 and 1.5, which is a very good risk-composed return. The sortino ratio is 2.0+ which reduces downside risk.
