I started investing in Aditya Birla Sun Life MNC fund after consulting my mutual fund advisor in March 2019. The initial years of investment were quite impressive, yielding good returns and boosting my confidence in this particular fund. This positive performance prompted me to initiate another SIP via the direct route, hoping to maximize my gains.
However, things took a turn for the worse starting in October 2021. The fund began to underperform consistently. I monitored the fund’s performance closely, hoping for a recovery, but the disappointing trend persisted. This underperformance led me to rethink my investment strategy.
In April 2023, I decided to pause my SIP in the Aditya Birla Sun Life MNC fund. Consequently, I shifted my money to other funds that were performing reasonably well, such as the DSP Tax Saver Fund. This fund had shown consistent performance over a period, which made it a more attractive option for my investment portfolio.
Since last one year the fund performance has improved significantly. Get this, Apr 2023 my XIRR was 0% and Apr 2024 my XIRR is 14%.
With this improvement in performance, the fund has closed the gap against its benchmark, the Nifty MNC index, which shows that the strategies implemented might be aligning well with market trends. However, while the gap has been reduced, the fund still lags behind the Nifty MNC index.
