Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -1.43%, 8.28% and 7.17%, 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 mixed recent record: the one-year return is negative, but the three- and five-year numbers are positive and sit close to the benchmark over the longer horizon. The portfolio is led by large financials and other market leaders, so it may suit investors who can accept volatility and are looking for a core equity holding with a longer time frame.<\/p>\n<div

recent pattern is uneven rather than smooth. Over one month, the fund declined less than the benchmark, which suggests a slightly better short-term cushion, while the three-month return was comfortably ahead. That said, the one-year figure is still negative, so the latest year has not yet fully repaired the weakness that showed up in parts of the recent path.<\/p>\n<p>Over the longer horizon, the picture is steadier. Both the three-year and five-year returns are positive, and each is ahead of the benchmark by a moderate margin. That tells us the fund has been able to compound better than Nifty 50 over those windows, even though the edge is not dramatic.<\/p>\n<p>The shorter and longer readings point to the same broad conclusion: this is not a low-volatility smoother, but neither is it lagging the benchmark across every horizon. The time pattern suggests recovery after softness, followed by periods of consolidation. For investors, that means the fund\u2019s behaviour can be uneven in the near term while still remaining broadly constructive over multi-year holding periods.<\/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_PGIM_India_Large_Cap\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD PGIM 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 PGIM India Large Cap?

The three-year and five-year figures also sit below the stronger peer readings available in the group, especially where the comparison funds have delivered double-digit compounding. That said, the fund\u2019s longer-term returns are still positive and comfortably ahead of the benchmark over the same horizons.<\/p>\n<p>The short-term and longer-term peer views do not tell the same story. Near-term weakness is visible, but the multi-year record remains workable rather than weak in absolute terms. For readers comparing only return history, the main takeaway is that this fund has delivered a steadier benchmark edge than dramatic outperformance, while several peers have compounded more strongly in the same windows.<\/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>8.58%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>8.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharti Airtel Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Telecom<\/td>\n<td>5.17%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Industries Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>4.46%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>State Bank of India<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>4.06%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Larsen &amp; Toubro Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Infrastructure<\/td>\n<td>3.92%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eternal Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>2.88%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.87%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bajaj Finance Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Finance<\/td>\n<td>2.78%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Titan Company Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Diamond &amp; Jewellery<\/td>\n<td>2.69%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding, ICICI Bank Ltd., carries an 8.58% weight, so it is meaningful but not overwhelming on its own. The drop from the first to the tenth position is fairly gradual, with the tenth holding still at 2.69%, which suggests the portfolio is not dependent on a single stock to the same extent as a very top-heavy book.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the combined weight of the top 10 holdings is 45.61%, so nearly half of the disclosed portfolio sits in a relatively small set of names. With 53 disclosed holdings in total, the fund appears to spread the rest of the capital across a longer tail, but the leading positions may still have greater influence on return patterns than the smaller ones.<\/p>\n<p>This mix points to a portfolio that is reasonably diversified within large-cap equities, yet still anchored by a handful of banks, telecom, infrastructure and consumer names. That structure may help the fund stay close to broad market leadership, but it can also leave performance sensitive to how those core holdings behave.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/pgim-india-large-cap-fund-g-direct-plan\">PGIM India Large Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/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 fits investors who can handle High Risk equity exposure and stay invested for several years. The one-year return has been weak, but the three-year and five-year figures are positive and ahead of the benchmark, which makes the fund more suitable for people who can look past shorter swings.<\/p>\n<p>The main trade-off is that recent volatility may test patience even though the longer record is constructive. Investors who want a large-cap core holding with a diversified basket of leading companies may find the structure suitable, but they need to accept that near-term returns may not move in a straight line. The stronger peer numbers in parts of the comparison table also show that this fund has not been the most powerful recent compounding story, so the expected reward is more measured than aggressive.<\/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> 0.50% on or before 90D, Nil after 90D.
