Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 6.51%, 6.97% and 0%, and the scheme is tagged under Balanced Risk.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this looks like a liquid-fund style portfolio with steady but not standout compounding over longer windows, plus short-term behaviour that has been more stable than the benchmark. That makes it more relevant for investors who want short-duration cash management rather than return chasing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter

so the scheme has held up better over the near term. That is useful for a liquid-style portfolio, where stability and capital preservation matter more than aggressive upside.<\/p>\n<p>Over one year, the fund\u2019s 6.51% return remains comfortably ahead of the benchmark\u2019s -7.13%, which tells us the benchmark has been a weak comparison base in the recent period. The fund has still produced positive returns, but the gap is more about the benchmark\u2019s drawdown than a sharp outperformance story.<\/p>\n<p>On a three-year view, the fund has delivered 6.97% against the benchmark\u2019s 5.82%. That suggests the longer-term pattern is still positive, though not by a wide margin. Because the scheme launched in July 2023, there is no meaningful five-year track record here, so we would place more weight on the one-year and three-year behaviour when judging consistency.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern across the series is fairly contained rather than volatile. For investors, that usually matters more in a cash-management fund than a big short-term jump, because the goal is to limit unnecessary swings while keeping returns competitive for the category.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 17 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_Bajaj_Finserv_Liquid\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Bajaj Finserv Liquid?<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 Bajaj Finserv Liquid?

On the three-year number, the gap is also small, with the fund slightly below the strongest available peer readings. That makes the comparison look competitive rather than clearly superior.<\/p>\n<p>The five-year column is not available for this scheme because it is a relatively recent launch, while several peers have complete five-year numbers in the mid-6% range.

The next few positions step down gradually, with the top four holdings still all above 3%, so the portfolio does not rely on a single large exposure.<\/p>\n<p>The gap from the largest holding to the tenth holding is visible, but the decline is not abrupt. That usually points to a measured short-term allocation pattern, with several smaller positions contributing rather than one position carrying the entire portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Because the top 10 account for 35.17% and the scheme discloses 80 holdings in total, the rest of the portfolio likely sits in a fairly long tail of smaller lines.

Against peers, the fund sits in a similar return band rather than separating itself decisively. The portfolio is spread across 80 holdings, with the top 10 accounting for 35.17%, so no single line appears to dominate the scheme. Overall, this looks more suitable for investors who want a liquid-fund style allocation with contained movement than for those seeking standout upside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 18 September 2026 at 1:59 PM IST<\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-login-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;background:#eef5ff;border:1px solid #cddff7;text-align:center\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_mutual_funds_with_Univest\"><\/span>Explore mutual funds with Univest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Review mutual fund data, compare performance and explore fund insights on Univest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"display:inline-block;padding:11px 20px;border-radius:6px;background:#1f4e79;color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none;font-weight:700\">Explore Univest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"univest-disclaimer\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RIA_disclosure\"><\/span>RIA disclosure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks.
