Mirae Asset Nifty India Manufacturing ETF FoF Direct Growth Review 2026: NAV, Returns, Portfolio & Should You Invest?

Mirae Asset Nifty India Manufacturing ETF FoF Direct Growth Plan currently has an NAV of ₹19.98 as of 16 Sep 2026 and scheme AUM of ₹129 Cr. Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 3.57%, 16.19% and 0%, respectively, and the fund sits in the High Risk category.
Our view is that this is a compact, focused fund with a concentrated structure and a return profile that has been stronger over 3 years than over the latest 1-year window. The benchmark comparison also matters: the fund has held up better than the benchmark over 1 year and 3 years, but the longer history is still relatively short, so investors need to judge it mainly as a thematic manufacturing exposure rather than a broad core holding.

Performance
| Period | Fund return | Benchmark return |
|---|---|---|
| 1M | -5.85% | -4.41% |
| 3M | -2% | -3.6% |
| 1Y | 3.57% | -7.76% |
| 3Y | 16.19% | 5.74% |
| 5Y | Data not available | Data not available |
The recent 1-month and 3-month numbers show that the fund has not moved in a straight line. The 1-month decline was deeper than the benchmark, while the 3-month loss was milder than the benchmark, which tells us the short-term path has been uneven rather than one-directional.
Over 1 year, the fund has done much better than the benchmark because the fund finished positive while the benchmark stayed negative. That gap suggests the portfolio has benefited from its own composition, even though the last few weeks have been soft.
The 3-year picture is still the stronger one. The fund’s 3-year return of 16.19% stands well above the benchmark’s 5.74%, so the medium-term compounding record is clearly better than the index behaviour over the same stretch.
We would treat the 5-year slot carefully because the fund was launched in 2022, so a full 5-year return is not available. For investors, the more useful takeaway is that the fund has shown some ability to recover and compound over 3 years, but the latest month-to-month pattern is choppier than the longer horizon suggests.

Should you BUY or HOLD Mirae Asset Nifty India Manufacturing ETF FoF?

This assessment is prepared by Uniapps Investment Adviser Pvt. Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639.
On recent numbers, the fund trails the stronger peer return figures by a wide margin: the silver and gold ETF FoFs in this comparison have much higher 1-year returns than this manufacturing fund. That tells us the short-term return backdrop is clearly less powerful than the stronger peer set.
The longer view is more mixed. The fund’s 3-year return is lower than the 3-year numbers available for UTI Silver ETF FoF Direct Growth Plan, ICICI Pru Silver ETF FOF Direct Growth Plan and UTI Gold ETF FoF Direct Growth Plan, but it still shows a positive 3-year record while several peer rows do not provide a 3-year figure.
So the peer story is not the same across time frames. Short-term comparison looks weak versus the listed peers, while the longer-term record is steadier and shows positive compounding, even if the available peer data remains stronger in absolute terms.

Portfolio: where your money goes
| Holding | Sector | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Mirae Asset Nifty India Manufacturing ETF | Domestic Mutual Funds Units | 100% |
The portfolio is entirely invested in a single disclosed holding, so the fund’s exposure is highly focused at the visible level. The largest holding itself accounts for 100% of the disclosed portfolio, which means the holding structure is as concentrated as it can be within the visible basket.
Because the disclosed holdings list contains only one line, there is no fall-off from a first position to a tenth position to analyse. That makes the portfolio easier to understand, but it also means performance may be driven almost completely by the underlying ETF leg rather than by any spread across multiple positions.
With a combined disclosed weight of 100% across 1 holding, the structure may leave less room for diversification benefits inside the visible portfolio. Investors should read this as a narrow, focused exposure rather than a broad multi-holding mix.

Who should invest
This fund is suited to investors who can tolerate High Risk and are comfortable with a thematic manufacturing exposure that may be uneven in the short run. The 3-year record is stronger than the latest 1-year stretch, which suggests that a longer horizon matters more than trying to judge it from a few recent months.
The main trade-off is straightforward: the fund offers focused exposure and has outpaced the benchmark over 1 year and 3 years, but the short-term path has been choppy and the portfolio is highly concentrated in one disclosed holding. That combination makes it more appropriate for investors who can stay patient through volatility and are using it as a satellite allocation rather than a stable core holding.
