Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 15.45%, 15.43% and 12.38%, and it sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a fund for investors who can tolerate sharper swings in pursuit of multi-asset diversification through an underlying fund-of-funds structure. The return pattern is stronger over 1Y and 3Y than the benchmark, while the 5Y number still shows steady compounding, though not in a straight line.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

last month was slightly negative for the fund, but it held up materially better than the benchmark over the same stretch. That matters because the benchmark was also weak, so the fund\u2019s smaller dip shows some downside resilience in a choppy phase rather than a clean directional move.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-month reading is more constructive. The fund outpaced the benchmark by a wide margin over that period, which suggests a stronger recent recovery than the market index and confirms that short-term momentum has been firmer than the benchmark\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1 year, the gap is much wider: the fund posted a positive return while the benchmark was negative. That is the clearest sign of relative strength in the table, even though the category still carries High Risk characteristics. The 3-year and 5-year figures also stay ahead of the benchmark, which tells us the longer compounding pattern has been better than the index even if it has not been linear.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the 5-year path has not been smooth. The pattern of ups and downs in the trailing periods tells us that investors needed patience through weaker phases before the stronger compounding showed through. This makes the fund more suitable for investors who care about multi-year outcomes and can live with uneven shorter-term movements.<\/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_HSBC_Multi_Asset_Active_FOF\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD HSBC Multi Asset Active FOF?<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 HSBC Multi Asset Active FOF?

That kind of cluster suggests the portfolio is not built around a single dominant bet, even though the top holdings still matter a lot in day-to-day movement.<\/p>\n<p>Weight then drops more clearly after the first five positions. The sixth and seventh holdings are smaller at 7.38% and 6.15%, and the cash and precious-metals exposures are lower still. This step-down may reduce reliance on any one underlying sleeve, while still keeping meaningful exposure to equity-oriented and debt-oriented building blocks.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 95.5% of the portfolio, across 12 disclosed holding rows. That indicates a fairly concentrated disclosed structure rather than a long, thin tail of small positions. In our view, the current mix may cause the fund\u2019s behaviour to be influenced mainly by a handful of underlying allocations rather than by many minor holdings.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/hsbc-multi-asset-active-fof-g-direct-plan\">HSBC Multi Asset Active FOF 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 suits investors who can accept High Risk exposure and stay invested long enough for the underlying allocation mix to work through weaker phases.
