Q: What returns has Sundaram Value Fund delivered?

Sundaram Value Fund has returned -14.81% over 1 year, +1.06% per year over 3 years, +0.62% per year over 5 years and +3.08% per year since inception. Figures beyond one year are annualised (CAGR) and are computed from AMFI NAV history, so they may differ slightly from other portals.

Q: What is the expense ratio of Sundaram Value Fund?

Q: What does the Sharpe ratio of -0.40 mean?

The Sharpe ratio is return earned per unit of total risk, above a 6.5% risk-free rate. Sundaram Value Fund's -0.40 means it has not compensated investors for its volatility over the window. Higher is better.

These rates apply on redemption and don't add to your income-tax slab.

as of 01 Oct 2026

This is the Direct plan of Sundaram Value Fund — bought from the fund house, with no distributor commission in its expense ratio. Income is distributed, which is why this NAV sits below the growth plan of the same fund.

Compare SIP calculator

This is the IDCW (dividend) option — it pays its earnings out as dividends rather than reinvesting them, so every payout steps the NAV down and the return figures below leave those payouts out. Your actual return was higher by whatever was distributed. That’s expected for a payout plan, not missing data.

Overlap is the share of each fund's equity book invested in the same stocks, by weight, across the Direct-plan universe — so a fund that is only part equity is labelled as such. ! marks a pair holding more in common than nine pairs in ten of its type, where that type has a measured distribution.

est. net flow, last quarter

Down +33% from its peak of ₹1,376Cr in January - March 2026. Size matters most where the mandate is narrow — a large small-cap or a very large flexi-cap book is harder to move without moving the price.

Net flow is an estimate: AMFI publishes a quarterly average AUM, not a closing balance, and it covers every plan and option of this scheme together, so it is a read on direction and rough size rather than a cash-flow statement.
