In the last year, the inflows in the mid-cap and small-cap funds have risen due to their phenomenal performance. Investors flock to these funds, hoping to earn stellar returns, ignoring the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it matters?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SEBI, in its consultation paper, has proposed that all mutual funds disclose risk-adjusted returns instead of returns. This risk-adjusted return is called the information ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEBI wants an investor to consider the risk in generating returns rather than just focusing on the returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoom In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The information ratio is calculated as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The higher the information ratio, the better it is, reflecting how well the fund has performed compared to the benchmarked index and the volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the above example, if it hadn\u2019t been for the information ratio, you would have picked Fund A over Fund B as it gave a higher return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It will offer a more comprehensive view of the fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funds generally show standard deviation and Sharpe ratio in the scheme-related documents, which many investors fail to interpret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of the 39 fund houses running equity schemes, 33 disclose the information ratio, while out of the 36 fund houses running hybrid schemes, just 27 disclose their risk-adjusted numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information ratio, although a helpful matrix, fails to tell how the outperformance was achieved. The rolling returns are a better option in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our in-house 2ROPE framework for selecting a mutual fund, we at A D Naik Wealth use the information ratio as one of the parameters to choose a fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
