360 ONE Overnight Fund Direct Growth Plan is an overnight-oriented liquid scheme with a current NAV of ₹1,063.9469 as of 16 Sep 2026 and scheme AUM of ₹126 Cr. Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 5.31%, 0.00% and 0.00%, and the risk category is Low Risk.
Our view is that this fund suits investors who want very low portfolio movement and a cash-like holding pattern rather than a return-seeking core allocation. The return profile is modest, and the portfolio is dominated by reverse repo and short-dated money-market instruments, so the fund is built more for stability and liquidity than for meaningful capital growth.

Performance
| Period | Fund return | Benchmark return |
|---|---|---|
| 1M | 0.39% | -4.41% |
| 3M | 1.25% | -3.60% |
| 1Y | 5.31% | -7.76% |
| 3Y | Data not available | Data not available |
| 5Y | Data not available | Data not available |
The recent return pattern is steady rather than dramatic. Over 1M and 3M, the fund has shown small positive movement, which fits an overnight strategy where the main objective is to preserve capital and keep day-to-day volatility low.
The 1-year return of 5.31% is the most useful headline figure here because the fund was launched only on 10 Jul 2025, so longer trailing periods are not available in a meaningful way. Against the benchmark, the gap is wide: the fund has stayed positive while Nifty 50 has been negative across 1M, 3M and 1Y in the figures available to us.
That comparison is important, but it should not be read as a signal that the fund is trying to outperform equities. The portfolio structure tells a different story: reverse repo, certificate of deposit and treasury bills dominate the holdings, so the return path is driven more by short-term money-market conditions than by market beta.
For investors, the main takeaway is consistency. The fund’s short-term behaviour has been stable, and the limited track record does not suggest any sharp swings or a return profile that depends on market direction. It looks built for parking money rather than chasing high compounding.

Should you BUY or HOLD 360 ONE Overnight?
A fund’s past returns alone don’t tell you whether you should buy it today or continue holding it.
The right decision depends on factors such as your current allocation, purchase price, risk profile, investment horizon and the role this fund plays in your overall portfolio.

Peer comparison
| Fund | 1Y return | 3Y return | 5Y return |
|---|---|---|---|
| 360 ONE Overnight Fund Direct Growth Plan | 5.31% | Data not available | Data not available |
| Bank of India Overnight Fund Direct Growth Plan | 5.51% | 6.21% | 5.83% |
| Baroda BNP Paribas Overnight Fund Direct Growth Plan | 5.29% | 6.08% | 5.72% |
| Nippon India Overnight Fund Direct Growth Plan | 5.29% | 6.09% | 5.73% |
| JioBlackRock Overnight Fund Direct Growth Plan | 5.28% | Data not available | Data not available |
Among the peer set, this fund’s 1-year return sits close to the middle of the cluster, with only a narrow spread separating it from the better and weaker short-term figures. That tells us the fund is broadly in line with the overnight category’s expected return band rather than standing out on recent growth.
The longer-horizon comparison is less favourable where data is available. The peers with 3-year and 5-year figures have posted stronger outcomes, while this fund cannot yet show those time spans because of its shorter operating history. In that sense, the comparison is not about a weaker record so much as a more limited track record.
This assessment is prepared by Uniapps Investment Adviser Pvt. Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639. The short-term picture and the longer-term picture therefore tell different stories: recent returns are orderly, but the absence of a longer history means investor confidence has to rest more on portfolio construction and liquidity preference than on a multi-year record.

Portfolio: where your money goes
| Holding | Sector | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Reverse Repo | Cash & Cash Equivalents and Net Assets | 82.9% |
| Indian Bank (01/09/2026) # | Certificate of Deposit | 9.29% |
| 182 Days Tbill (MD 03/09/2026) | Treasury Bills | 7.11% |
| Net Receivables / (Payables) | Cash & Cash Equivalents and Net Assets | 0.67% |
The single largest holding is Reverse Repo at 82.9%, which is unusually dominant even for a short-duration cash-management style portfolio. That size tells us the fund’s day-to-day behaviour is likely to be driven primarily by cash-like placements rather than by a diversified spread of credit or duration exposures.
Weight falls away sharply after that. The next holding is Indian Bank certificate of deposit at 9.29%, followed by a 182-day treasury bill at 7.11%, and then net receivables/payables at 0.67%. The drop from 82.9% to 9.29% is steep, so the portfolio is not balanced evenly across positions.
Only four holdings are disclosed in total, and the top disclosed positions account for 99.97% of the portfolio. In our view, that concentration may reduce complexity and may support liquidity management, but it also means a very small set of short-term instruments is likely to have greater influence on returns and stability than in a more diversified debt fund.

Who should invest
This fund is best suited to investors with a low risk tolerance and a very short holding horizon. The low-risk profile, the short-term return pattern and the money-market-heavy portfolio all point toward use as a temporary parking option rather than a long-term wealth-building engine.
The main trade-off is simple: you get stability and liquidity-oriented positioning, but you should not expect equity-like growth or a long performance record. The fund has held up better than the benchmark in the periods available, yet its own return profile remains modest. Investors who want a steadier place for surplus cash may find that trade-off acceptable.
