Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 1.63%, 12.79% and 10.60%, and the scheme is tagged High Risk. Our view is that this is a fund for investors who can stay invested through uneven stretches, because the longer run is better than the recent run and the portfolio is built around a sizeable but not extreme set of active bets.<\/p>\n<p>The fund\u2019s recent return profile has been softer than its 3-year and 5-year track record, while the benchmark has also been weak over the shorter periods. That makes the current picture mixed rather than compelling, but the underlying portfolio still suggests a diversified equity ELSS structure rather than a narrow thematic wager.<\/p>\n<div

fund\u2019s short-term pattern has been uneven. Over the last month, it was roughly flat, while the benchmark fell more sharply. Over three months, the fund recovered strongly and comfortably outpaced the benchmark, which helps explain why the recent picture is better than the 1-year number suggests.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year return is still modest at 1.63%, and that is the main reason the near-term record looks softer than the longer-term record. We see a fund that has had some periods of pressure, but not a collapse in its overall trajectory. The return path suggests the portfolio has been able to rebuild after drawdowns rather than drift lower for long stretches.<\/p>\n<p>On a longer horizon, the 3-year return of 12.79% is ahead of the benchmark\u2019s 6%, and the 5-year return of 10.60% also stands above the benchmark\u2019s 5.87%. Our view is that the fund\u2019s longer-run profile is more useful than its 1-year number, because the multi-year figures show steadier compounding than the short-term numbers alone would imply.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the return pattern is not one of smooth consistency. The time pattern points to a fund that can move through clear ups and downs before recovering. For investors, that means the fund may fit only if they can hold through periods when the 1-year picture looks weaker than the 3-year and 5-year backdrop.<\/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_Invesco_India_ELSS_Tax_Saver\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Invesco India ELSS Tax Saver?<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 Invesco India ELSS Tax Saver?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639.<\/p>\n<p>Against the listed peers, the fund\u2019s 1-year return is clearly softer, with several peers showing much stronger recent numbers. That gap matters because the fund\u2019s latest year is the weakest part of its profile.<\/p>\n<p>The longer-term comparison is more balanced. Its 3-year return is below the strongest peer figures but remains ahead of some peers, while its 5-year return also sits in the middle of the pack rather than at the extremes. In our view, the peer set tells two different stories: the recent year has lagged, but the longer horizon is more respectable and closer to the broader peer cluster.<\/p>\n<p>This makes the fund more of a patient, multi-year ELSS holding than a short-term momentum play. The combination of a weaker 1-year number and a steadier 3-year and 5-year profile suggests that investors should judge it by cycle-through-cycle behavior, not only by the latest year.<\/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 Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>4.66%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>3.91%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bajaj Finance Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Finance<\/td>\n<td>2.41%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharti Airtel Limited<\/td>\n<td>Telecom<\/td>\n<td>2.33%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Capital Goods<\/td>\n<td>2.27%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axis Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.23%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eternal Limited<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>2.07%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coforge Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>2.04%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Interglobe Aviation Limited<\/td>\n<td>Aviation<\/td>\n<td>2.02%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Metro Brands Limited<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>1.95%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 25.89% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/invesco-india-elss-tax-saver-fund-g-direct-plan\">Invesco India ELSS Tax Saver Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest holding, HDFC Bank Limited, is 4.66% of the portfolio, so no single position dominates the disclosed basket. The gap from the first holding to the tenth holding is moderate rather than extreme, which suggests the visible book is built from several mid-sized positions instead of one very large anchor.<\/p>\n<p>The top holdings are spread across banking, finance, telecom, capital goods, IT, aviation and retailing. That mix may help reduce reliance on any one sector, although the bank names still carry meaningful influence because there are multiple bank holdings among the largest positions.<\/p>\n<p>With 69 disclosed holdings and only 25.89% in the top 10, the portfolio appears fairly spread out across a longer tail. In our view, that structure may soften single-stock dependence, even though the largest names are still likely to have greater influence than the smaller positions.<\/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 equity swings and are comfortable with a lumpy journey rather than a straight line. The 1-year return is much weaker than the 3-year and 5-year figures, so the fund is better matched to a multi-year horizon where recoveries matter more than short stretches of underperformance.<\/p>\n<p>It also makes sense for investors who want an ELSS structure with broad equity exposure and a diversified portfolio of 69 holdings. The key trade-off is that the recent year has been subdued even though the longer track record is better, so patience is essential if you are relying on it for tax-linked long-term investing.<\/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> No exit load after holding period.<\/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<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_NAV_of_Invesco_India_ELSS_Tax_Saver_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of Invesco India ELSS Tax Saver Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b9152.55 as of 09 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_1-year_3-year_and_5-year_returns\"><\/span>What are the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The 1-year return is 1.63%, the 3-year return is 12.79%, and the 5-year return is 10.60%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_fund_compare_with_Nifty_50\"><\/span>How does the fund compare with Nifty 50?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fund is ahead of Nifty 50 on the 3-year and 5-year figures, while the benchmark has been weaker over the recent 1-year period.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_it_compare_with_peer_ELSS_funds_on_recent_returns\"><\/span>How does it compare with peer ELSS funds on recent returns?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Its 1-year return is lower than several peer funds, while its 3-year and 5-year numbers are more mixed and sit closer to the middle of the peer set.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_minimum_SIP_amount\"><\/span>What is the minimum SIP amount?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The minimum SIP amount is \u20b9500.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_manages_the_fund_and_what_is_the_exit_load\"><\/span>Who manages the fund and what is the exit load?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fund is managed by Depesh Kashyap.

That profile suits investors who can stay patient through uneven periods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 10 September 2026 at 11:43 AM IST<\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-login-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;background:#eef5ff;border:1px solid #cddff7;text-align:center\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_mutual_funds_with_Univest\"><\/span>Explore mutual funds with Univest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Review mutual fund data, compare performance and explore fund insights on Univest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"display:inline-block;padding:11px 20px;border-radius:6px;background:#1f4e79;color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none;font-weight:700\">Explore Univest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"univest-disclaimer\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RIA_disclosure\"><\/span>RIA disclosure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks.
