Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 3.15%, 14.01% and 15.42%, and the fund sits in the High Risk bucket.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a fund for investors who can tolerate equity-led swings but still want hybrid diversification. The long-term return pattern is stronger than the recent 1-year figure, and the portfolio is led by large financials and other quality businesses rather than one narrow theme.<\/p>\n<div

recent pattern is mixed rather than smooth. The fund slipped over the last month, but that was less severe than the benchmark\u2019s decline, which suggests it held up comparatively better in a weak stretch. Over three months, it recovered more clearly than the benchmark, so the near-term behaviour has improved after a softer start.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year number is modest at 3.15%, yet it still stands well ahead of the benchmark\u2019s -4.43%. That tells us the fund has protected capital better than the index over the last year, even if the absolute return has not been strong. For investors, that distinction matters because the benchmark was in negative territory while the fund stayed positive.<\/p>\n<p>The longer view is much stronger. The 3-year return of 14.01% and 5-year return of 15.42% show a healthier compounding profile than the benchmark\u2019s 5.88% and 6.29%. Our read is that the fund has done considerably better over full-cycle periods than in the most recent year, so short-term results should not be treated as a complete picture of its return profile.<\/p>\n<p>This also fits the time pattern in the fund\u2019s own movement: the journey has included reversals and pauses, but the wider trend has stayed constructive. In other words, the fund has not been a straight-line performer, yet its multi-year compounding has remained meaningfully ahead of the benchmark.<\/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_ICICI_Pru_Aggressive_Hybrid\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD ICICI Pru Aggressive Hybrid?<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 ICICI Pru Aggressive Hybrid?

That gap is visible even before we look at the longer periods.<\/p>\n<p>At three years, the fund\u2019s 14.01% is broadly in the middle of the available peer readings, ahead of some names and behind others. At five years, its 15.42% remains competitive and is close to the stronger peer numbers, which tells us the longer-term picture is better than the short-term one. The peer table therefore points to a fund that has been less impressive recently but still holds up reasonably well over fuller cycles.<\/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>HDFC Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>6.39%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>5.14%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Industries Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>4.66%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>3.74%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NTPC Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>3.44%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TREPS<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>3.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TVS Motor Company Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>3.28%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axis Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.47%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Interglobe Aviation Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Aviation<\/td>\n<td>2.44%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Avenue Supermarts Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>2.36%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest disclosed holding is HDFC Bank Ltd. at 6.39%, which is sizeable but not dominant.
