Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -3.23%, 10.49% and 13.26% respectively, and the fund sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a large-cap equity fund with a meaningful long-term record, but the recent phase has been weaker than its 3-year and 5-year track. The portfolio is led by banks, with large weights in HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank, so investors should be comfortable with equity-market swings even though the benchmark is Nifty 50.<\/p>\n<div

fund has had a choppy recent stretch, but it has still held up better than the benchmark over 1 month, 3 months and 1 year. The 1-year return is negative, which tells us that the last year has been difficult, yet the benchmark was weaker still, so the fund preserved relative ground even in a soft period.<\/p>\n<p>Over 3 years and 5 years, the picture improves clearly. The fund\u2019s 10.49% 3-year return and 13.26% 5-year return are comfortably ahead of the benchmark, which indicates that the longer compounding pattern has been healthier than the recent year alone suggests. Our view is that the longer record matters more here than the latest short-term patch.<\/p>\n<p>The time pattern also looks uneven rather than smooth. There are visible drawdowns and recoveries across the recent periods, so this is not a fund that has advanced in a straight line. That matters for investors because the large-cap label does not remove equity volatility; it mainly shapes where that volatility comes from.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with the benchmark, the fund appears to have added value over multi-year horizons even though the latest year remains negative. That mix usually points to a fund whose medium-term track is stronger than its short-term mood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 09 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_Nippon_India_Large_Cap\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Nippon India Large 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 Nippon India Large Cap?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639.<\/p>\n<p>On a 1-year view, the fund trails the stronger peer numbers because several peers are positive while this fund is negative. That makes the recent stretch look comparatively softer. Over 3 years, however, the fund sits in a competitive band and is ahead of some peers while still behind the stronger 3-year figures in the set. On 5 years, its 13.26% return is stronger than the other peers with available 5-year figures, which supports the case that its longer compounding has been sturdier than its latest year.<\/p>\n<p>The short-term and longer-term stories are therefore different. The recent year shows pressure, but the multi-year record looks more durable. For investors, that difference matters because it suggests the fund may suit someone who can look through temporary weakness and focus on the longer large-cap cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 09 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>HDFC Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>8.65%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>6.71%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axis Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>5.29%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Industries Limited<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>4.11%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Larsen &amp; Toubro Limited<\/td>\n<td>Infrastructure<\/td>\n<td>3.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infosys Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>3.63%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tata Consultancy Services Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>3.55%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bajaj Finance Limited<\/td>\n<td>Finance<\/td>\n<td>3.23%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>State Bank of India<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.95%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Limited<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>2.92%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 44.74% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/nippon-india-large-cap-fund-g-direct-plan\">Nippon India Large Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest position, HDFC Bank Limited, is 8.65%, which is sizeable but not extreme for a large-cap equity fund. The second and third holdings are also banks, so the leading positions are clearly anchored in financials rather than spread evenly across every sector. That makes the top of the portfolio meaningful in determining how the fund behaves.<\/p>\n<p>Weight does fall away after the top three, but the decline is gradual rather than steep. The tenth holding is 2.92%, so the gap from the largest holding to the tenth is notable without being abrupt. This pattern suggests that the portfolio is built around a set of core positions instead of a single dominant bet.<\/p>\n<p>Because the top 10 holdings make up 44.74% of the portfolio and the scheme discloses 57 holdings overall, the rest of the book still matters. Our view is that this creates a balance between concentration at the top and diversification across a longer tail, although the bank-heavy lead positions may still have greater influence on short-term behaviour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 09 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 fits investors who can accept High Risk behaviour in pursuit of equity-market growth and who are willing to stay invested through uneven short-term outcomes. The 1-year result is negative, while the 3-year and 5-year records are positive, so the fund makes more sense for a medium-to-long horizon than for near-term goals.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark comparison also points to a fund that can hold up better over time than in the latest year alone. Investors who want a large-cap allocation and can tolerate swings in return may find the setup familiar, especially because the portfolio leans heavily on banks and other large listed businesses. The main trade-off is that the stronger longer-term record comes with clear year-to-year variability.<\/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 within 7 days; nil after 7 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 09 Sep 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<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_NAV_of_Nippon_India_Large_Cap_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of Nippon India Large Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b998.6725 as of 09 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_has_the_fund_performed_over_1_year_3_years_and_5_years\"><\/span>How has the fund performed over 1 year, 3 years and 5 years?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Its 1-year return is -3.23%, the 3-year return is 10.49% and the 5-year return is 13.26%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_fund_compare_with_the_benchmark\"><\/span>How does the fund compare with the benchmark?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It has done better than NIFTY 50 over 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years.
