Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -10.8%, 0% and 0%, and the fund is tagged High Risk. Our view is that it has not yet built a long, stable return record, so it suits investors who want a consumer-focused index theme and can accept uneven short-term outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Because the scheme launched on 22 May 2024, the longer-horizon figures are still very limited. The portfolio is led by large consumer names and related businesses, which can make the return path less cyclical than broader market exposure, but the recent drawdown shows that the theme can still move sharply.<\/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

rather than smooth. Over 3 months, the fund has recovered better than the benchmark, but the 1-month move was weaker and the 1-year result remains below the benchmark by a clear margin. That tells us the fund can participate in rebounds, yet it has not fully repaired the damage seen over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>The broader picture is still too short to judge as a true long-term track record because the scheme is new. The 3-year and 5-year fields are not available in a meaningful way, so the most useful reading is that the fund has been volatile since launch and has not yet demonstrated a consistent compounding pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Against the benchmark, the fund is behind on the 1-year view and ahead on the 3-month view. That split matters: the short-term bounce is encouraging, but it does not erase the weaker year-long trend. For investors, the main question is whether the consumer-focused basket can hold up better when the market becomes choppy.<\/p>\n<p>This assessment is prepared by Uniapps Investment Adviser Pvt.

At the same time, the comparison set is diverse: several peers have delivered strong recent gains, while this fund has posted a negative 1-year return.<\/p>\n<p>For longer horizons, the picture is less decisive because the current fund does not yet have a usable 3-year or 5-year record, and most peers in this list also do not show those horizons. The one available longer-horizon example, ICICI Pru NASDAQ 100 Index Fund Direct Growth Plan, shows much stronger 3-year compounding, but that is not a like-for-like consumer theme comparison.

The next positions remain close behind, with Bharti Airtel Limited at 9.55% and Titan Company Limited at 9%, so the top end of the portfolio stays fairly tight around large, well-known consumer and consumer-adjacent names.<\/p>\n<p>The decline from the first holding to the tenth is gradual rather than abrupt, from 10.13% down to 2.89%. That pattern suggests the portfolio may not depend on one or two dominant positions alone; instead, influence is spread across several large holdings that could each matter to returns in different market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the visible top 10 already account for approximately 66.6% of the portfolio, and there are 30 disclosed holdings in total. That mix points to meaningful concentration at the top, followed by a longer tail of smaller positions. The overall structure may therefore give the fund a strong tilt to a limited set of consumer names while still leaving room for diversification beyond the largest weights.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/groww-nifty-non-cyclical-consumer-index-fund-g-direct-plan\">Groww Nifty Non-Cyclical Consumer Index Fund 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 are comfortable with High Risk exposure and can tolerate a choppy return path. The one-year loss, the short launch history and the stronger 3-month recovery together suggest that the scheme may be better suited to a longer horizon rather than a quick exit.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with the benchmark, the fund has lagged over 1 year but improved more sharply over 3 months. That makes it more appropriate for investors who can accept near-term uncertainty in exchange for a consumer-themed index approach. The main trade-off is that the portfolio is built around a narrower set of consumer and related stocks, so returns may swing more than a broad market fund.<\/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: 1% if units are sold on or before 30 days.
