Motilal Oswal Services Fund
Direct · GrowthAI Summary
Motilal Oswal Services Fund delivered a 1Y SIP XIRR of 13.22%, modestly below the category average of 14.1%. Against the NIFTY 50, the fund shows strong outperformance with a 1Y alpha of 16.62% (Fund CAGR 13.87% vs benchmark -2.9%), though the alpha narrows over longer horizons to 1.21% at 15Y. Calendar year returns were positive in both 2025 (8.79%) and 2026 (8.15%).
The fund exhibits a beta of roughly 0.98 with the NIFTY 50, moving closely with the market, while its downside capture of 76.38% versus upside capture near 100% indicates favorable asymmetric risk behavior. The maximum drawdown was shallow at -0.17% with a 125-day duration and 91-day recovery, and only one drawdown event exceeding 10% was recorded. The 1Y Calmar ratio of 0.77 reflects reasonable risk-adjusted returns relative to the drawdown experienced.
The portfolio holds 33 stocks, with the top 10 accounting for roughly 50% of NAV, led by Aster DM Healthcare (7.85%), MCX (6.5%), and Aditya Birla Capital (6.13%). Sector concentration is meaningful, with Finance (20.2%), IT-Software (16.6%), and Healthcare Services (13.6%) dominating the book. Financial services-linked sectors (Finance, Capital Markets, Fintech, Insurance) collectively represent a substantial portion of the portfolio, tying returns closely to financial sector performance.
The fund's 1Y SIP XIRR of 13.22% trails the category average of 14.1%, placing it slightly below peers in the sectoral/thematic space. Its consistent positive alpha over every measured horizon (1Y to 15Y) versus the NIFTY 50 demonstrates persistent benchmark outperformance, even as the magnitude of alpha compresses over longer periods. The stable capture ratios across horizons suggest a consistent, repeatable investment process rather than a one-off result.
This fund suits investors with high risk tolerance seeking focused exposure to the services theme, including financials, healthcare, and IT services. As a sectoral/thematic fund, it should be treated as a satellite allocation rather than a core holding, ideally limited to 5-10% of the portfolio. A horizon of at least 5 years is recommended to ride out sector cycles, and investors should be comfortable with concentration-driven volatility.
