Debt Fund Ratings: Why They Differ from Equity Fund Ratings

Debt mutual funds serve a very different role from equity funds, which is why they require a different rating methodology. At Qonfido, we evaluate debt funds primarily on stability, drawdown behaviour, and consistency, not just returns. Our ratings cover all 14 SEBI debt fund categories, recognising that some categories offer meaningful differentiation between funds while others are largely equivalent. The goal is simple: help investors identify funds that do their job reliably within the role they play in a portfolio.

How does Qonfido build a comprehensive Mutual Fund Rating system?

We, at Qonfido, strongly believe in the ethos of investing with transparency. Unlike traditional rating services that simply rank funds by past returns, Qonfido is built on a different philosophy: we recommend only what we would invest in ourselves. This means our ratings reflect not just quantitative analysis, but also the judgment and principles that guide our own investment decisions. This presents a quick introspective look into the foundation of Qonfido.
