Research framework

How to compare SIF funds in India

A useful SIF comparison goes beyond headline return. Read downside behaviour, cost, liquidity and strategy together before deciding which fund deserves deeper due diligence.

Protection

Compare Alpha Shield v2 alongside the separate March crash-period return and benchmark context.

Performance

Review since-inception and shorter-period returns together; young funds can have limited history.

Cost

Compare Direct and Regular TER, then read the exit-load terms before estimating the real cost.

Structure

Check redemption frequency, settlement, net-long range, benchmark and the manager's strategy type.

Research note: Returns and proprietary Alpha Shield scores are historical observations, not forecasts. Confirm the latest NAV, TER and scheme terms in the relevant AMC disclosures before investing. For broader context, review the SIF research directory.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

How do I compare SIF funds on SIFPrime?

Pick up to 3 Specialized Investment Funds from the selector above. The comparison table shows Alpha Shield score, March 2026 crash-period return, category rank, since-inception return, Total Expense Ratio (TER), minimum investment, redemption frequency, strategy type and benchmark — side by side. Return highlights require matching observation windows; since-inception figures are not ranked.

What is the Alpha Shield score?

Alpha Shield v2 is SIFPrime's 0–10 downside-protection research score. It combines downside capture (35%), maximum-drawdown protection (25%), recovery speed (20%) and benchmark-relative consistency or Information Ratio (20%). A score appears only when official fund NAV and the exact declared TRI benchmark history are complete and aligned.

Which SIF categories can I compare?

All five live SIF categories: Hybrid Long-Short, Equity Long-Short, Ex-Top 100 Long-Short, Sector Rotation, and Active Asset Allocator. You can mix categories in a single comparison - useful when evaluating risk/return trade-offs across strategies.

Where do the numbers come from?

Selected-plan returns are calculated from AMFI daily NAV history, with Trezofin stored history as a disclosed fallback. Each fund shows its source, scheme, actual NAV date and calculation window. Historical studies and published TER are separate reference data; verify current scheme disclosures.

How is SIFPrime different from aggregators like Groww or Moneycontrol?

SIFPrime focuses specifically on India's Specialized Investment Fund category. The comparison brings crash-period alpha analysis, capital-protection scoring, net-long ranges and Direct-versus-Regular TER into one SIF research view.

Returns use the same calculation across SIFPrime. Since-inception figures have different starting dates and are not ranked. A highlight requires an identical period and data for every selected fund.

Costs and historical studies are published reference data and may have different update dates; verify current scheme disclosures. Risk metrics use each fund’s observed selected-plan history and are not ranked. Volatility and Sharpe use 252 trading days, at least 20 returns, and the disclosed risk-free-rate assumption. Strongest describes the displayed historical metric only. Review mandate fit, liquidity, costs and source disclosures before investing.
