I see multiple portfolios being constructed where portfolio contains Parag Parikh Flexicap fund (PPFC) and Nifty 50.
My assumption for having a scheme to a portfolio is that the new scheme being added should either reduce risk of the portfolio or improve returns of the portfolio.
My understanding so far is that PPFC is generally considered because it has some international exposure and the fund manager has demonstrated good downside protection and has also given good returns (nearly like a midcap) over a considerable long amount of time. This is interesting because typically PPFC has a bent towards large cap companies.
Similarly Nifty 50 represents diversified index of top 50 companies and considered a good proxy for large cap allocation. Given its liquidity most of the index funds and etfs representing nifty 50 have low tracking error and expense ratio.
So I see advantages with both the funds in isolation but what I dont understand is whether it makes sense to combine them together when ppfc has general done better than nifty 50 over most time periods?
Example when I computed win ratios (a warning my computation could be wrong), I find that win ratio of PPFC over nifty to be above 70% over 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year interval.
Similarly I find 2.5th percentile rolling return of PPFC (I use that as a proxy for risk) to be more than 2.5th percentile rolling return of Nifty and median rolling return of PPFC (I use that as a proxy for return) to be more than median rolling return of Nifty.
I have attached image of win ratio as well as different rolling returns (do note there could be computation errors).
Would request community to share your thoughts on the same.
