Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -5.25%, 8.37% and 7.26%, and it sits in the High Risk bucket.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a fund for investors who can tolerate sharp swings and can stay invested for long enough to let the tech-led portfolio work through cycle changes. The mix is concentrated in a few large holdings, and the recent 1-year weakness stands out against a steadier 3-year and 5-year record.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65

short-term picture is mixed. Over 1 month and 1 year, the fund has been negative, but it still held up better than the benchmark in both periods. The 3-month return is the clearest recent bright spot, and it is well ahead of the benchmark for the same window.<\/p>\n<p>The longer record is more balanced. The 3-year and 5-year returns are both positive and ahead of the benchmark, which suggests the fund has still been able to compound better than the index over a full cycle, even after recent pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern matters for interpretation. The 1-year decline tells us the fund can face a difficult stretch, but the 3-year and 5-year figures show that the recent weakness has not erased the broader return edge. That combination is typical of a fund whose outcome can depend heavily on a smaller set of holdings and the prevailing market mood.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, the main point is that the benchmark comparison is not uniform across time. The fund has been ahead on the 3-year and 5-year view, yet the latest 1-year period has been weak in absolute terms. That makes it better suited to investors who can tolerate uneven results rather than those who want a smoother return path.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 08 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-mf-premium-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;background:#f7faff\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_SBI_Technology_Opp\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD SBI Technology Opp?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A fund&#8217;s past returns alone don&#8217;t tell you whether you should buy it today or continue holding it.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already holding SBI Technology Opp?

The 3-year and 5-year figures are more resilient, but the available peer set shows several funds with far stronger short-term momentum, so the contrast between recent and longer-term behaviour is clear.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the peer comparison is not one-sided. The fund\u2019s 3-year and 5-year outcomes are both positive and compare more comfortably with the benchmark than the recent 1-year move does. For investors, that means the fund looks less compelling on near-term momentum and more defensible as a long-horizon holding where patience matters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 08 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<div class=\"univest-peer-login-cta\" style=\"margin:20px 0;padding:16px 18px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;border-radius:8px;background:#f7faff\">\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><strong>Want to know more?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"font-weight:700;text-decoration:none\">Log in to Univest<\/a> for more mutual fund insights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portfolio_where_your_money_goes\"><\/span>Portfolio: where your money goes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding<\/th>\n<th>Sector<\/th>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharti Airtel Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Telecom<\/td>\n<td>16.15%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infosys Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>8.84%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tata Consultancy Services Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>7.59%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eternal Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>6.58%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coforge Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>5.31%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation<\/td>\n<td>Overseas Equities<\/td>\n<td>4.53%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>LTM Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>4.16%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Microsoft Corporation<\/td>\n<td>Overseas Equities<\/td>\n<td>4.10%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Amagi Media Labs Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Equities<\/td>\n<td>3.79%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alphabet Inc.<\/td>\n<td>Overseas Equities<\/td>\n<td>3.61%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 64.66% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/sbi-technology-opp-fund-g-direct-plan\">SBI Technology Opp Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>Bharti Airtel Ltd. alone carries the largest weight at 16.15%, so it is likely to have greater influence on the fund\u2019s near-term behaviour than any other single position. The next few holdings are meaningfully smaller, but not tiny, which means the portfolio still gives important room to a handful of large ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The weight then steps down to 8.84% and 7.59% in the next two positions, before moving through a cluster around 6% to 3%. That drop from the first holding to the tenth suggests the fund is not evenly spread across many similar-sized positions; instead, a few names dominate the visible sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>Because the top 10 holdings together make up 64.66% of the portfolio and 27 holdings are disclosed in total, the fund looks fairly concentrated at the top while still leaving a long tail below the main positions. That structure may create stronger upside if the largest bets work, but it may also mean the portfolio can move more sharply when those positions are out of favour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 08 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_invest\"><\/span>Who should invest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This fund suits investors who can handle High Risk exposure and are comfortable with a return path that can be uneven over shorter periods. The latest 1-year result was weak, but the 3-year and 5-year figures are positive and better than the benchmark, so the case here is tied more to patience than to steady quarterly performance.<\/p>\n<p>The main trade-off is concentration. The portfolio has a few large positions that may drive outcomes, which can help when the theme is working and hurt when it is not. Investors with a medium-to-long horizon who want technology-led equity exposure may find the return pattern understandable, while those seeking smoother near-term outcomes may find the swings harder to accept.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_and_exit_load\"><\/span>Tax and exit load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding period<\/th>\n<th>Tax rate<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held less than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>Short-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held more than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>12.5%<\/td>\n<td>Long-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Exit load applies at 0.50% if units are sold on or before 15 days.
