Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 8.66%, 13.20% and 11.09%, and the scheme sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a long-horizon retirement scheme for investors who can accept equity-style ups and downs in exchange for medium-term compounding. The five-year return profile is steadier than the latest one-year phase, but the fund still trails the benchmark across the periods shown, so the fit is stronger for patient investors than for short-term capital preservation.<\/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\/tata-retirement-sav-fund-prog-direct-growth-plan-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\/tata-retirement-sav-fund-prog-direct-growth-plan-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\/tata-retirement-sav-fund-prog-direct-growth-plan-review-2026\/#Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_Tata_Retirement_Sav_Fund_%E2%80%93_Prog_Plan\" title=\"Should you BUY or HOLD Tata Retirement Sav Fund &#8211;

That matters because the one-month phase was mildly negative even as the benchmark fell more sharply, which suggests the scheme has recently handled downside better than the index.<\/p>\n<p>The longer horizon looks more constructive. Over 1 year, 3 years and 5 years, the fund has stayed ahead of the benchmark in every period shown, and the gap is widest in the 1-year comparison because the benchmark was negative while the fund stayed positive. That does not remove risk, but it does show that the portfolio has delivered positive compounding through a difficult benchmark phase.<\/p>\n<p>The shape of the 3-year and 5-year path suggests a fund that can recover after drawdowns, although the ride has not been smooth. We read the latest numbers as evidence of a scheme that participates in equity upside, but with enough volatility to make timing matter for shorter holding periods.<\/p>\n<p>This assessment is prepared by Uniapps Investment Adviser Pvt.

The current fund has stayed positive and reasonably steady, but the peer set shows that there are retirement-oriented equity options with a more powerful medium-term track record.

The tenth holding is 2.30%, so the weight profile drops fairly gradually from the top name to the tail of the visible list rather than collapsing into one very large position.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 35.05% of the portfolio, and the disclosed list contains 55 holdings in total. Our read is that the portfolio is spread across many positions, but the biggest names still matter because they sit well above the smaller positions and may have greater influence on short-term outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>That balance can help reduce dependence on a single stock, yet it still leaves room for the leading holdings to shape returns. The presence of a cash and repo allocation among the visible positions also suggests some liquidity buffer, though the overall scheme remains equity-oriented in practice.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/tata-retirement-sav-fund-prog-plan-g-direct-plan\">Tata Retirement Sav Fund &#8211; Prog Plan Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 10 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 and are comfortable staying invested through uneven phases. The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year numbers show that the scheme has been able to compound over longer windows, but the recent path has still been choppy enough that short holding periods may not suit it well.<\/p>\n<p>We think the better fit is a retirement-focused investor with a multi-year horizon who can accept that returns may lag stronger peers in some periods while still staying positive across the cycle. The main trade-off is between the fund\u2019s steadier longer-term profile and the possibility of missing out on the stronger compounding seen in some peer retirement schemes.<\/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><\/p>\n<p>Nil on or after age of 60Y, 1% before 61 months from the Date of allotment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 10 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 Tata Retirement Sav Fund &#8211; Prog Plan Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>Its NAV is \u20b985.5939 as of 10 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>The fund\u2019s returns are 8.66% over 1 year, 13.20% over 3 years and 11.09% over 5 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has it done versus the benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>It has stayed ahead of the Nifty 50 across the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods shown.
