Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 1.98%, 18.79% and 21.09% respectively, and the fund sits in the High Risk category. In our view, this is a niche equity fund that has rewarded patient holding periods better than shorter ones, but the recent run has been uneven.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio is tilted heavily toward automobiles and transport-linked businesses, so outcomes can differ materially from broad-market funds. That makes it more suited to investors who can accept sharper swings in exchange for a strategy tied to a specific economic theme.<\/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 class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/uti-transportation-and-logistics-fund-direct-growth-review-2026\/#Quick_facts\" title=\"Quick facts\">Quick facts<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/uti-transportation-and-logistics-fund-direct-growth-review-2026\/#Performance\" title=\"Performance\">Performance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/uti-transportation-and-logistics-fund-direct-growth-review-2026\/#Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_UTI_Transportation_Logistics\" title=\"Should you BUY or HOLD UTI Transportation &#038;

Over 3 months, it moved ahead of the benchmark by a wide margin, which tells us that the recent recovery has been stronger than the index\u2019s trend during that window.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger picture looks more constructive. The 3-year and 5-year figures are comfortably above the benchmark, which suggests that the strategy has been able to compound well over longer holding periods even though the ride has not been smooth.<\/p>\n<p>That split matters for investors. The 1-year number is only modest, while the longer-term numbers point to stronger compounding, so the fund has not depended on a single clean stretch of momentum. Instead, it appears to have gone through phases of weakness and recovery, which is common for a theme-led equity portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that the fund\u2019s recent behaviour is less consistent than its 3-year and 5-year track record, but the longer view remains clearly stronger than the benchmark. That makes the longer-horizon evidence more useful than the shorter snapshot when judging the strategy.<\/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_UTI_Transportation_Logistics\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD UTI Transportation &#038; Logistics?<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 UTI Transportation &#038; Logistics?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639.<\/p>\n<p>On the 1-year view, the fund trails several peers that have posted much stronger gains, including the metal-and-energy and healthcare-themed schemes here. That does not weaken its longer record, but it does show that the fund\u2019s recent phase has been more restrained than the strongest one-year performers in the group.<\/p>\n<p>On the longer horizon, the fund\u2019s 3-year and 5-year returns look more balanced. The 3-year figure is behind the stronger 1-year peer numbers shown above, yet the 5-year return remains solid and offers a clearer picture of compounding than the short-term comparison alone.<\/p>\n<p>So the peer picture is mixed in a useful way: the fund does not match the fastest recent climbers, but its longer holding-period record still stands up reasonably well against the available peers. That makes the short-term and long-term comparisons tell different stories, which is exactly why this fund needs a longer lens.<\/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>Eq &#8211; Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>12.21%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eq &#8211; Eternal Limited<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>10.41%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eq &#8211; Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>8.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eq &#8211; Eicher Motors Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>7.68%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eq &#8211; Bajaj Auto Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>6.51%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eq &#8211; Adani Ports and Special Econo<\/td>\n<td>Logistics<\/td>\n<td>5.32%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eq &#8211; TVS Motor Company Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>4.38%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eq &#8211; Hero Motocorp Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>4.17%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eq &#8211; Hyundai Motor India Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>3.99%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eq &#8211; Interglobe Aviation Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Aviation<\/td>\n<td>3.02%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Ltd., is 12.21%, which is large enough to matter on its own but not so large that a single position dominates the portfolio completely.
