Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -0.63%, 0% and 0%, and the fund sits in the High Risk category. Our view is that this is a fund for investors who can handle sharp swings and are comfortable with a short record, because the recent pattern has been uneven and the longer horizon is still too limited to show a stable compounding path.<\/p>\n<p>The fund may suit only those who want an equity allocation with a high-risk stance and can accept that benchmark-relative behaviour has also been mixed. It does not yet have a long performance history, so we would read the current numbers as a sign of early-stage volatility rather than a mature track record.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

than the one-month number alone suggests. Over 3 months, the fund has recovered strongly and stayed ahead of the benchmark, which tells us that the portfolio can rebound after a weak patch.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year number remains slightly negative, but it is still better than the benchmark\u2019s deeper decline over the same stretch. That matters because it shows relative resilience even when absolute returns have been under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>What we do not yet have is a long enough run to judge whether that relative resilience can hold through a full cycle. The fund launched in June 2024, so the lack of 3-year and 5-year figures is not a flaw in presentation; it simply means the track record is still building.<\/p>\n<p>From the available pattern, our reading is that the fund has had a choppy short-term path, but the 3-month recovery suggests active stock selection or factor positioning can work in favour of investors when the cycle turns. That makes consistency the bigger question than one-off bursts of outperformance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 10 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_Motilal_Oswal_Quant\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Motilal Oswal Quant?<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 Motilal Oswal Quant?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639. On the available one-year numbers, this fund trails the stronger peer figures by a wide margin, even though its own 3-month return is ahead of the benchmark. That split matters: the recent bounce is real, but it has not yet translated into a competitive 1-year outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Longer-term comparison is harder because the fund does not yet have 3-year or 5-year data, while some peers do have a 3-year record. That leaves the fund with less history to prove whether the recent pattern can persist. The short-term and longer-term views therefore point in different directions: the latest rebound is encouraging, but the available comparison still leaves more questions than answers about durability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 10 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>Kalyan Jewellers India Limited<\/td>\n<td>Diamond &amp; Jewellery<\/td>\n<td>3.22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TVS Motor Company Limited<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>2.50%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Life Insurance Corporation of India<\/td>\n<td>Insurance<\/td>\n<td>2.38%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coforge Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>2.33%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bajaj Auto Limited<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>2.30%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ashok Leyland Limited<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>2.29%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hero Motocorp Limited<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>2.27%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dixon Technologies (India) Limited<\/td>\n<td>Consumer Durables<\/td>\n<td>2.25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>2.23%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lupin Limited<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>2.20%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding is Kalyan Jewellers India Limited at 3.22%, which is a moderate single-stock weight rather than an outsized one. The tenth holding, Lupin Limited, is still 2.20%, so the drop from first to tenth is fairly contained. That pattern suggests the disclosed book is not dominated by one position; instead, it is spread across several mid-sized holdings.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings together account for approximately 23.97% of the portfolio, while the full disclosed list contains 51 holdings. That combination points to a longer tail of positions beyond the top group, so the visible book may be more diversified than the top weights alone imply. At the same time, the repeated presence of automobile names in the top slice may contribute to sector-level sensitivity if that theme weakens.<\/p>\n<p>Because the top holdings only cover part of the portfolio, we would read the structure as moderately spread rather than tightly concentrated. The listed weights are close enough that no single name is likely to dominate day-to-day movement, but several mid-sized positions together could still matter meaningfully.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/motilal-oswal-quant-fund-g-direct-plan\">Motilal Oswal Quant 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 fits investors who are comfortable with High Risk equity exposure and who can stay invested long enough to absorb short-term swings.

The main trade-off is that the benchmark comparison is encouraging in recent periods, but the track record is still short and does not yet prove consistency through a full cycle. The portfolio is spread across 51 disclosed holdings, which may soften single-stock dependence, but it also leaves the question of lasting style stability open.<\/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% on or before 15D, Nil after 15D.
