Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 2.92%, 14.13% and 15.64% respectively, and the fund sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a flexi-cap fund for investors who can live with meaningful ups and downs in search of equity-style compounding. The longer-term return record is stronger than the benchmark, but the most recent 1-year outcome has been much softer, so the fit is better for patient investors than for those looking for steadier short-term outcomes.<\/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

shorter windows point to a mixed run. The 1-month return is negative, which tells us the fund has not been immune to recent volatility, but it still held up better than the benchmark in that period. Over 3 months, the fund recovered faster than the index and stayed comfortably ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year result is the weakest of the longer windows, at just 2.92%, yet it still beat the benchmark\u2019s negative 1-year return. That matters because it shows relative resilience even when the broader market backdrop was difficult. The 3-year and 5-year figures are more encouraging and suggest that the fund has compounded at a healthier pace over a full market cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The longer-term shape is more important here than the latest dip. The return pattern shows periods of pressure followed by recovery, rather than a smooth climb, which is consistent with the High Risk label. For investors, that means the fund has rewarded patience better than short holding periods.<\/p>\n<p>Against the benchmark, the fund is ahead across every listed period. Our read-through is that this has been driven more by compounding strength over time than by uninterrupted month-to-month consistency.<\/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_JM_Flexi_Cap\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD JM Flexi 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 JM Flexi Cap?

The fund\u2019s 1-year return trails the peer set we can compare it with, while its 3-year and 5-year numbers are also below the stronger peer outcomes available here. The contrast is clear: the fund\u2019s longer-term record is respectable, but several peers have shown a sharper recent run and a stronger multi-year pace. That means the short-term story is weaker than the longer-term story, and the longer-term comparison still leaves room for more consistent peer-style compounding.<\/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>ICICI Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>3.83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>State Bank of India<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.99%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>One 97 Communications Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>2.78%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Larsen &amp; Toubro Limited<\/td>\n<td>Infrastructure<\/td>\n<td>2.73%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shriram Finance Limited<\/td>\n<td>Finance<\/td>\n<td>2.59%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Industries Limited<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>2.45%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Limited<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>2.35%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharti Airtel Limited<\/td>\n<td>Telecom<\/td>\n<td>2.19%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Godfrey Phillips India Limited<\/td>\n<td>FMCG<\/td>\n<td>2.18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding, ICICI Bank Limited, is a 3.83% position, so no single stock dominates the portfolio. The drop from the first holding to the tenth is gradual rather than steep: the tenth holding is still 2.18%, which suggests the top end of the portfolio is spread across several meaningful positions rather than one very large bet.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings together account for approximately 26.92% of the portfolio, and the fund has 65 disclosed holdings in total. That combination points to a diversified core with a long tail of smaller positions. In our view, the listed holdings may have influence individually, but the structure does not look overly concentrated in just a handful of names.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/jm-flexi-cap-fund-g-direct-plan\">JM Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/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 can tolerate High Risk exposure and who are comfortable holding through periods of weak short-term returns.
