Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -1.82%, 11.45% and 9.35%, and the fund sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a large-cap equity option for investors who can tolerate sharp short-term swings in return outcomes and still stay invested through weaker phases. The 5-year record is steadier than the 1-year figure, but recent movement has been more uneven than the longer-term trend.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy

recent picture is mixed. Over 1 month, the fund fell slightly more than the benchmark, while the 3-month period shows a modest rebound and a small edge over Nifty 50. That tells us the scheme has not been moving in a straight line, even though the short recovery is visible.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year result is less comfortable because the fund still finished negative, but it held up better than the benchmark, which declined more. That matters because it suggests the portfolio has not fully escaped market pressure, yet it has still cushioned losses somewhat better than the index over the same period.<\/p>\n<p>The longer lens looks stronger. Both 3-year and 5-year returns are ahead of the benchmark by a clear margin, which indicates better compounding than the index over full market cycles. At the same time, the path has not been smooth, so the fund\u2019s return history looks more suitable for investors who can tolerate uneven stretches in exchange for stronger medium-term outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with the benchmark, the fund\u2019s recent volatility is more visible in the 1-year and 1-month figures, but the 3-year and 5-year numbers still point to an edge in long-term compounding. For us, that is the key takeaway: the fund has not been consistently calm, but it has built a better long-run record than the benchmark shown here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 04 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_DSP_Large_Cap\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD DSP 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 DSP Large Cap?

The fund\u2019s 1-year return is weaker than every peer listed here, while its 3-year and 5-year figures remain competitive against several peers with available data. That split matters: the near-term record is soft, but the medium-term picture is still respectable. In our view, the peer set tells two different stories depending on the horizon, and the longer horizon is clearly more favourable for this scheme.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 04 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>ICICI Bank Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>9.75%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Bank Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>9.58%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharti Airtel Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Telecom<\/td>\n<td>5.87%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ITC Ltd<\/td>\n<td>FMCG<\/td>\n<td>5.47%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axis Bank Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>5.44%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>5.12%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Larsen &amp; Toubro Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Infrastructure<\/td>\n<td>4.56%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infosys Ltd<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>4.52%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Industries Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>4.11%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cipla Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>3.06%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding, ICICI Bank Ltd, carries a weight of 9.75%, so no single stock dominates the fund on its own. The drop from the first holding to the tenth is noticeable but not extreme, moving from 9.75% to 3.06%. That pattern suggests the fund may still feel the influence of its biggest positions, but it is not relying on one outsized bet.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings together account for approximately 57.48% of the portfolio, which points to a fairly meaningful concentration in the largest positions while still leaving room for the rest of the 36 disclosed holdings. With 36 holdings in total, the fund appears to spread the remainder across a longer tail rather than putting everything into a very small cluster.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, that mix may offer a balance between conviction and diversification. The top positions are large enough to matter, especially the two bank exposures at the top, but the overall structure still leaves a significant share outside the first ten names. That can help reduce dependence on any single company, even though the portfolio is still meaningfully shaped by its biggest holdings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/dsp-large-cap-fund-g-direct-plan\">To see all holdings, visit the DSP Large Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan page<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 04 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 suits investors who can handle High Risk equity exposure and stay invested long enough to absorb uneven short-term performance. The 1-year result has been weak, but the 3-year and 5-year numbers are stronger and sit ahead of the benchmark, which makes the fund more relevant for longer holding periods than for near-term goals.<\/p>\n<p>The main trade-off is that you may need to tolerate periods where returns trail expectations before the longer compounding pattern shows up. The portfolio is anchored by large bank and blue-chip positions, so it is better aligned with investors who want large-cap exposure and can accept market-linked volatility in exchange for a steadier medium-term equity outcome.<\/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% if units are sold before 12 months; nil on or after 12 months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 04 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_DSP_Large_Cap_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of DSP Large Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b9500.386 as of 04 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_have_the_1-year_3-year_and_5-year_returns_looked\"><\/span>How have the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns looked?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fund\u2019s 1-year return is -1.82%, its 3-year return is 11.45% and its 5-year return is 9.35%.
