How BullWiser Scores Mutual Funds
BullWiser's Honest Score rates each mutual fund out of 10 across four independent pillars — Returns Quality, Charges & Costs, Stability & Risk, and Fund Quality. This methodology is inspired by SEBI's Mutual Fund Distributor certification framework (NISM Series V-A) and gives Indian retail investors a clear, bias-free signal about which funds deserve their money.
The 4 Scoring Pillars
- Returns Quality (3/10): 1Y, 3Y, and 5Y CAGR vs category peers. Consistent outperformance matters — one good year doesn't count.
- Charges & Costs (3/10): Expense Ratio (TER). Direct plans charge 0.1–1.2%; Regular plans charge 1.5–2.5%. A 1% TER difference compounds to lakhs of rupees over 15 years.
- Stability & Risk (2/10): Sharpe Ratio (risk-adjusted returns) and Maximum Drawdown. A fund that falls 50% must double just to break even.
- Fund Quality (2/10): AMC track record, fund age, and AUM. Funds under 3 years are marked "Under Evaluation" — insufficient history to judge.
Direct Plan vs Regular Plan — The Hidden Cost
Regular mutual fund plans pay a trail commission (typically 0.5–1.5% annually) to your distributor or broker — deducted from your returns every year. On a ₹10 lakh portfolio at 12% returns over 20 years: the Direct plan grows to ~₹96 lakh, while the Regular plan (with 1% higher TER) grows to only ~₹80 lakh. The ₹16 lakh difference is commission that silently left your pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BullWiser's Honest Score?
The Honest Score rates each mutual fund out of 10 on Returns Quality (3 pts), Charges & Costs (3 pts), Stability & Risk (2 pts), and Fund Quality (2 pts). 7+ = HIGH QUALITY; 5–6 = AVERAGE; 3–4 = BELOW AVERAGE; below 3 = POOR QUALITY.
What is the difference between Direct and Regular mutual fund plans?
Direct plans are bought directly from the AMC with no broker commission, giving them 0.5–1.5% lower expense ratios than Regular plans. Over 20 years, this compounds to ₹15–20 lakh on a ₹10 lakh investment.
