Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -2.24%, 8.67% and 8.36% respectively, and the scheme is placed in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a fund for investors who can accept sharp short-term swings in exchange for a more balanced long-term profile than its recent 1-year result suggests. The portfolio mixes equity holdings with liquid and cash-like exposures, so the return pattern is not purely equity-led, but the recent softness shows that the path can still be uneven.<\/p>\n<div

short-term picture is mixed, but it is still better than the benchmark on the same horizons. The 1-month return remained negative, yet it held up better than the benchmark, and the 3-month figure turned positive while the benchmark was still lower. That tells us the recent stretch has not been smooth, but the fund has still absorbed part of the market pressure more effectively than NIFTY 50.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1 year, the fund was down 2.24% while the benchmark was down 7.16%. That is a meaningful relative cushion, even though the absolute result is still negative. The 3-year and 5-year numbers are both positive and remain ahead of the benchmark, which suggests that the longer compounding profile is healthier than the latest 12-month outcome alone implies.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern across the time periods points to a fund that can participate in upside while trying to soften drawdowns, but not remove them. The 1-year weakness is important because it shows the strategy can still struggle during difficult market phases, even after showing steadier longer-term compounding. For investors, that means the fund may be better read as a medium-to-long horizon hybrid allocation than as a short-term return tool.<\/p>\n<p>This assessment is prepared by Uniapps Investment Adviser Pvt.

The peers with complete medium-term records have all posted stronger 3-year and 5-year returns, so the current fund looks more restrained on longer horizons than the better-performing balanced advantage peers.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the shorter-term comparison is less one-sided. The fund\u2019s 1-year result is negative, but it is still much less weak than the benchmark and better than some shorter-window peers when the focus shifts to risk control rather than raw return. The gap in 3-year and 5-year figures is what matters most: peers with full history have compounded faster, so the fund currently looks more conservative in outcome even if it is not uncompetitive in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>We think the comparison tells two different stories: recent resilience versus weaker longer-horizon upside capture relative to the better peer set.<\/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>Net Receivables \/ (Payables)<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>11.79%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Invesco India Low Duration Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>8.36%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>8.31%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Industries Limited<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>7.59%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>5.28%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Invesco India Ultra Short Duration Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>4.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eternal Limited<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>3.79%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infosys Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>3.21%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>3.08%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Triparty Repo<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>2.88%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest disclosed position is Net Receivables \/ (Payables) at 11.79%, which is large enough to matter in day-to-day tracking. After that, the weights step down fairly quickly into the 8% to 7% range and then into the mid-single digits, so the portfolio does not lean on one dominant equity name alone.<\/p>\n<p>The tenth holding is only 2.88%, so the drop from the top position to the edge of the visible list is noticeable. That spread suggests the fund may not be run as a highly concentrated stock-picking portfolio; instead, the bigger positions may share influence with cash-like and fund-of-fund style allocations that can shape the outcome in different market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The displayed top 10 holdings account for approximately 58.49% of the portfolio, and the fact that there are 40 disclosed holdings indicates a fairly long tail beneath the largest positions. In our view, that mix points to a portfolio where a few holdings could still move returns meaningfully, but broader participation across many positions may reduce dependence on any single line item.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/invesco-india-balanced-advantage-fund-g-direct-plan\">Invesco India Balanced Advantage 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 may suit investors who can tolerate High Risk classification and still stay invested through periods when returns turn negative over a 12-month window. The 3-year and 5-year figures show that the strategy has been able to rebuild over time, so a medium-to-long horizon is more appropriate than a short holding period.<\/p>\n<p>The main trade-off is between relative downside control and stronger upside capture. Against the benchmark, the fund has held up better in weaker stretches, but the better peer records on 3-year and 5-year horizons show that this trade-off can come at the cost of lower long-term compounding. Investors who want a hybrid allocation with a meaningful equity component and are comfortable with uneven interim results may find that balance more relevant than a pure return chase.<\/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>Exit load: Nil up to 10% of units and 0.25% for amounts above that limit if units are sold on or before 3 months; no exit load after 3 months.<\/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=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>What is the current NAV of Invesco India Balanced Advantage Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>Its current NAV is \u20b962.43 as of 09 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>The fund\u2019s 1-year return is -2.24%, its 3-year return is 8.67% and its 5-year return is 8.36%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does it compare with the benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>It has outpaced NIFTY 50 on the 3-year and 5-year horizons and has also held up better over 1 month, 3 months and 1 year.
