Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 18.21%, 17.97% and 16.81% respectively, and the fund sits in the High Risk category. Our view is that this is a more suitable option for investors who are comfortable with equity volatility and want a flexi-cap fund that has held up well over longer periods, even though the recent return path has been uneven.<\/p>\n<p>The fund\u2019s market-cap mix is tilted toward large-cap stocks, with a meaningful mid-cap sleeve and a small small-cap allocation. That structure may help keep the portfolio anchored, while the sector mix still leaves enough room for sharper swings. In our view, the return profile looks suitable for a long horizon, but it does ask investors to accept periods where shorter-term moves may differ from the longer-term trend.<\/p>\n<div

near-term pattern is mixed. The fund has stayed positive over the latest month and three months, but the 3-month return trails the benchmark a little, which tells us the recent stretch has not been uniformly stronger than the index.<\/p>\n<p>Over the 1-year horizon, the picture improves sharply. The fund\u2019s 18.21% return is well ahead of the benchmark\u2019s -2.53%, so the strategy has clearly navigated a difficult period for the index better than the benchmark itself.<\/p>\n<p>The longer-term view is also supportive. The 3-year return of 17.97% and 5-year return of 16.81% both sit comfortably above the benchmark\u2019s 6.72% and 7.06%, which suggests the fund has compounded at a healthier pace than the index over full market cycles. The underlying return path also shows some intermittent swings rather than a smooth rise, so investors should expect variability even when the broader trend stays constructive.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the fund\u2019s recent behaviour is not identical to the steadier longer-term pattern, but the longer window still indicates stronger compounding than the benchmark. That combination matters for a flexi-cap strategy: it can participate across market segments, yet it will still move with equity conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 27 Aug 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_Quant_Flexi_Cap\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Quant Flexi Cap?<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 Quant Flexi Cap?

Where 3-year and 5-year data are available, the fund compares favourably with Aditya Birla SL Mfg. Equity Fund Direct Growth Plan on 5-year returns and remains competitive on 3-year returns as well.<\/p>\n<p>The short-term and longer-term comparisons tell different stories. On a 1-year basis, the fund trails several peers with sharper recent momentum, while over 3 years and 5 years it shows a more balanced compounding profile. That makes it look less like a recent momentum play and more like a diversified equity strategy that has delivered through longer periods without relying on a single short burst of performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 27 Aug 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<p>The market-cap mix is 62.41% large cap, 15.82% mid cap, 4.66% small cap and 1.25% other.

That means the portfolio is not dominated by one overwhelming sector, even though energy-linked holdings may still have a noticeable influence on day-to-day movement.<\/p>\n<p>The sector spread is fairly broad across financials, healthcare and infrastructure, which may reduce dependence on any one part of the market. Within the listed holdings, Life Insurance Corporation of India at 9.41% stands out as a relatively large single position, while Adani Power Limited at 6.49% is also meaningful. These positions could affect returns more than smaller names, but the overall mix still looks diversified across five visible sectors.<\/p>\n<p>From a behaviour standpoint, the large-cap tilt may help smooth some of the volatility that comes with a flexi-cap mandate, while the mid-cap and small-cap sleeves preserve upside participation. In our view, Power is likely to have greater influence on portfolio outcomes than the other sectors because it has the highest allocation, but the gap is not so wide that the rest of the portfolio becomes irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 27 Aug 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 are comfortable with High Risk equity exposure and can stay invested through periods of uneven short-term movement.

The main trade-off is that investors may accept short-term variability in exchange for a portfolio that has historically compounded better than the benchmark over longer periods.<\/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: 1% if units are sold on or before 15 days; nil after 15 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 27 Aug 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>What is the current NAV of Quant Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The current NAV is \u20b9123.393 as of 27 Aug 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>The fund\u2019s returns are 18.21% over 1 year, 17.97% over 3 years and 16.81% over 5 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the fund compare with the benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>It has outperformed the Nifty 50 over 1 year, 3 years and 5 years.
