Sometimes, when you are comparing funds from different AMCs, you stumble across a pair of them that are so similar that it becomes a tough call choosing between them. For example, Religare Invesco MID N SMALL CAP Fund and ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund are right on top of each other. Try to spot the difference here (Jan-2012 through Jan-2015):
Between 2012-01-02 and 2015-01-07, Religare Invesco MID N SMALL CAP Fund has returned a cumulative 172.88% with an IRR of 39.49% vs. ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund’s cumulative return of 170.32% and an IRR of 39.05%.
Their drawdowns are similar as well. And since the NAV is quoted after all expenses, Religare’s expense ratio of 2.97% vs. ICICI’s 2.34% is factored into the returns.
In terms of metrics, Religare is marginally better than ICICI. However, there is nothing there to swing the decision one way or the other.
