Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 6.57%, 7.38% and 0%, respectively, and the fund sits in the Balanced Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that the fund has delivered a steady medium-term pattern, but the recent 1-year result remains well above the benchmark while the longer history is only modestly ahead of it. The portfolio is led by short-duration money-market instruments and cash equivalents, which can support stability, though return consistency still depends on rate conditions and credit spread behaviour.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p

Over 1 month and 3 months, the fund stayed positive while the benchmark was negative, which points to better short-term resilience than the index used for comparison. That matters for investors who watch drawdown control and monthly consistency more than headline upside.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year return of 6.57% also compares favourably with the benchmark\u2019s -7.13%. That gap is large enough to show that the fund\u2019s recent path has been materially better than the benchmark\u2019s over the same window, even though the two series do not behave like identical strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-year return of 7.38% is still ahead of the benchmark\u2019s 5.82%, but the margin is narrower than in the 1-year period. Our read is that the fund has shown a more measured compounding pattern over the medium term rather than a dramatic outperformance story. The 5-year figure is not available, so we would avoid reading the fund as a long-cycle track record.<\/p>\n<p>Seen together, the recent numbers and the 3-year record suggest a fund that has held up better than the benchmark in both shorter and medium horizons, but not one that has delivered a sharply different long-term profile. For investors, that is more useful as a stability-and-consistency signal than as a high-growth story.<\/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_Money_Market\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Bajaj Finserv Money Market?<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 Money Market?

On the 3-year view, the fund\u2019s 7.38% is much lower than the 36.32% available for one peer, but the available peer set still points to a much higher-return style overall. The short-term and medium-term peer comparisons tell different stories only because the fund is designed for steadier behaviour, not because it has suddenly changed character.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 17 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>Clearing Corporation of India Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Cash &#038; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>11%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Indian Bank (05\/02\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>2.74%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (17\/02\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>2.73%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standard Chartered Capital Limited (14\/12\/2026) **<\/td>\n<td>Commercial Paper<\/td>\n<td>2.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bank of Baroda (08\/03\/2027)**<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>2.27%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bank of Baroda (07\/12\/2026)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>2.22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bank of Baroda (04\/12\/2026)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>1.85%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bank of Baroda (25\/01\/2027)**<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>1.83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Canara Bank (04\/03\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>1.82%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Bank Limited (15\/02\/2027)**<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>1.82%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding, Clearing Corporation of India Ltd, is 11%, which is sizeable but not extreme for a cash-and-short-term-income style portfolio. The drop from the first holding to the tenth is fairly gradual, with the tenth holding at 1.82%; that suggests the visible slice is not dominated by a single security beyond the top cash position.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 30.58% of the portfolio, leaving a long tail across the remaining disclosed positions. With 65 total holdings disclosed, the fund appears spread across many short-term instruments rather than being tightly concentrated in just a handful of names. That structure may help reduce single-name dependence, although the cash and deposit mix still means rate and liquidity conditions can matter for returns.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, the key point is that the portfolio looks diversified across many near-term instruments, but the largest position is still large enough to influence short-run behaviour. The combination of a meaningful top holding and a broad tail often points to a steadier profile rather than a high-conviction concentrated book.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/bajaj-finserv-money-market-fund-g-direct-plan\">Bajaj Finserv Money Market Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 17 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 may suit investors who want a relatively steady return pattern and can accept a Balanced Risk profile rather than a pure capital-stability posture. Its 1-year and 3-year returns both sit above the benchmark used for comparison, which supports the case for investors who value consistent relative behaviour more than aggressive upside.<\/p>\n<p>The better fit is usually a medium- to longer-term holding period, because the return pattern has been steadier over 1-year and 3-year windows than the 5-year view, which is not available. The main trade-off is that the portfolio is built from short-term instruments and cash equivalents, so the return path is likely to be more measured than in higher-growth equity strategies, even when conditions are favourable.<\/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: No exit load.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 17 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_Bajaj_Finserv_Money_Market_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of Bajaj Finserv Money Market Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b91256.0011 as of 17 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_funds_1-year_3-year_and_5-year_returns\"><\/span>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fund\u2019s 1-year return is 6.57%, its 3-year return is 7.38%, and its 5-year return is 0% in the available record.
