Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -1.41%, 9.02% and 7.38%, and it sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a differentiated equity option rather than a steady benchmark-tracker. The return pattern has been uneven in the near term, but the longer horizon is more constructive, and the portfolio mix across large, mid and small caps means outcomes can vary meaningfully with

recent picture is better than it first looks.

That tells us the fund has absorbed some of the rougher conditions better than the Nifty 50, even if absolute returns were disappointing over the year.<\/p>\n<p>The longer view is more balanced. Over 3 years, the fund is clearly ahead of the benchmark, and over 5 years it is still slightly ahead. That combination suggests the strategy has not been a consistent straight-line compounding story, but the multi-year outcome remains constructive.<\/p>\n<p>Using the return series as a guide, the fund has gone through noticeable swings rather than a smooth upward climb. The pattern supports a view that this is a portfolio where patience matters more than short holding periods, especially because the benchmark itself has also been uneven in parts of the period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 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_Aditya_Birla_SL_MNC\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Aditya Birla SL MNC?<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 Aditya Birla SL MNC?

The current fund\u2019s 1-year return is far weaker than the peer set that has posted strong short-term gains, but the longer record is steadier than the recent number suggests. Its 3-year and 5-year returns are also below the strongest available peer figures, although the comparison is not identical across every holding period because several peers do not have complete multi-year data.<\/p>\n<p>That makes the short-term and longer-term stories different. On a recent basis, the fund has lagged the more cyclical and thematic peers by a wide margin. Over longer periods, it has delivered positive compounding, but the pace has been more moderate and less forceful than the sharper multi-year returns visible in some peers with available data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 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 spread across large caps at 31.66%, mid caps at 28.26%, small caps at 34.72% and other exposure at 5.36%.

Those two areas together account for most of the visible sector exposure, so they are likely to have the greatest influence on how the fund behaves.<\/p>\n<p>The BANK allocation is materially larger than the next sector on its own, but the gap between the first two sectors is not wide. That means the portfolio is not dependent on one theme alone; instead, it is shaped by a strong combination of banking and autos, with smaller but still relevant positions in FMCG, healthcare and alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Because the market-cap mix is spread across large, mid and small caps, the fund may react to both broad market trends and stock-specific moves. The highest influence is likely to come from the banking sleeve, while the auto allocation could add a second strong swing factor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 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 fits investors who are comfortable with High Risk equity exposure and can stay invested through periods when returns move unevenly. The 1-year record is negative, but the 3-year and 5-year outcomes are positive, so the fund looks more suitable for a longer horizon than for short-term parking.<\/p>\n<p>The main trade-off is accepting higher swings in return in exchange for the possibility of multi-year participation in a diversified but concentrated sector mix. Relative to the benchmark, the fund has shown resilience in some phases and weakness in others, so investors need patience and tolerance for dispersion from market averages.<\/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><strong>Exit load:<\/strong> 1% on or before 90D, Nil after 90D.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 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 Aditya Birla SL MNC Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The current NAV is \u20b91,495.72 as of 28 August 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>The fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -1.41%, 9.02% and 7.38%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the fund compare with the Nifty 50 benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>It has been ahead of the benchmark over 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years, although the margin varies by period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the minimum SIP amount?<\/strong><br \/>The minimum SIP amount is \u20b9100.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who manages this fund?<\/strong><br \/>Chanchal Khandelwal manages the fund.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the exit load and tax treatment?<\/strong><br \/>The exit load is 1% on or before 90 days and nil after 90 days.
