Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 1.57%, 13.16% and 15.09% respectively, and the scheme sits in the High Risk category. Our view is that this is a large, equity-heavy hybrid fund for investors who can accept uneven short-term movement in exchange for a stronger longer-term growth profile.<\/p>\n<p>The fund\u2019s recent return profile is softer than its longer-run record, and that matters for timing-sensitive investors. The portfolio still looks tilted toward large, liquid companies, so it can suit investors who want a hybrid structure but are comfortable with equity-market swings.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

fund has held up better than the benchmark over the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods, even though the latest 1-month reading is negative. That tells us the recent stretch has been choppier than the longer-term trend, rather than changing the basic character of the fund.<\/p>\n<p>Over 3 years and 5 years, the return profile is clearly stronger than the benchmark, which supports the case for patient investors who can stay through cycles. The 1-year figure is still positive, but it is much lower than the 3-year and 5-year numbers, so the fund has not been moving in a straight line.<\/p>\n<p>The month-by-month pattern over the past year shows a mix of recovery and pullback, with gains not fully sustained across every spell. That is consistent with a High Risk hybrid fund that can participate in market upside, but may also give back some of that progress when markets soften.<\/p>\n<p>For investors comparing it with the benchmark, the key point is that the fund has outpaced the index on every listed horizon, but the margin has been much more convincing over longer periods. That suggests the compounding story is stronger than the recent one-month tone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 09 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?

In the longer horizon, it stays ahead of some peers on 5-year return and sits close to others, but the standout short-term numbers belong to the peers rather than this scheme.<\/p>\n<p>That difference matters because the peer set tells two stories at once: stronger recent momentum elsewhere, versus a more stable longer-run profile from this fund. For investors who care more about consistency over a full cycle than about the latest year\u2019s pace, the longer-term comparison is more relevant than the 1-year gap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 09 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>6.06%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>5.21%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Industries Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>4.55%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>3.73%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TVS Motor Company Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>3.30%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NTPC Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>3.24%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TREPS<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>2.97%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Life Insurance Corporation of India<\/td>\n<td>Insurance<\/td>\n<td>2.95%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Avenue Supermarts Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>2.62%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axis Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.61%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 37.24% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/icici-pru-aggressive-hybrid-fund-g-direct-plan\">ICICI Pru Aggressive Hybrid Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest holding, HDFC Bank Ltd., is 6.06%, which is meaningful but not extreme for a diversified equity-oriented hybrid scheme. The gap from the first holding to the tenth is fairly contained, which suggests the portfolio is not dominated by one oversized position.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the combined weight of the top 10 holdings is 37.24%, so these names may still influence day-to-day portfolio behaviour more than the long tail. With 47 disclosed holdings in total, the fund appears to spread risk across many positions rather than concentrating everything in a handful of stocks.<\/p>\n<p>The mix also leans toward large financials, with banks appearing multiple times in the top holdings, while healthcare, energy, power, retail and automobiles add sector variety. That combination may help diversification, but it can still leave the portfolio sensitive to broad equity-market moves because the biggest positions are all company-level equity exposures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 09 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 are comfortable with High Risk exposure and can stay invested for at least a medium to long horizon.
