Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 8.69%, 0% and 0%, and the scheme carries a High Risk profile. Our view is that this is a focused equity fund for investors who can accept sharp swings and are looking at a theme-led portfolio rather than a steady benchmark-style journey.<\/p>\n<p>The fund has shown a better recent stretch than its benchmark, but the longer record is still short because it launched on 04 Nov 2024. That makes the current period more useful for observing how the fund behaves around its theme than for judging a mature multi-cycle track record.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

clearly stronger than the benchmark. Both 1-month and 3-month returns are positive for the fund while the benchmark stayed negative over the same windows, which points to a meaningful divergence in short-term behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1 year, the fund is also ahead of the benchmark, but the gap is less dramatic than in the shorter windows. The fund\u2019s 8.69% return contrasts with the benchmark\u2019s -7.62%, so the fund has preserved a positive outcome while the benchmark has remained weak.<\/p>\n<p>The daily pattern also suggests a fund that can move unevenly rather than in a smooth line. We see a rebound after weaker phases, which is consistent with a high-risk theme fund that can recover quickly when its selected names move in favour. That said, the short operating history means the fund still lacks a full 3-year or 5-year record, so our reading of stability remains limited.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, the main point is that the fund\u2019s near-term behaviour has been better than its benchmark, but the evidence base is still young. It may suit someone who is comfortable with concentrated theme exposure and is willing to judge the fund more on how it behaves through shorter market phases than on long-cycle history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 11 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_Digital_India\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Motilal Oswal Digital India?<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 Digital India?

That said, its own 1-year result remains positive, which is more constructive than the benchmark and shows that the fund has not simply tracked the broader market weakness.<\/p>\n<p>For 3-year and 5-year comparisons, there is no usable long-term figure for the current fund, so the peer comparison becomes uneven rather than decisive. Among peers with multi-year data, the available 3-year number for ICICI Pru Strategic Metal and Energy Equity FoF is much stronger, while the other peer entries do not provide 3-year or 5-year figures. The short-term and longer-term pictures therefore tell different stories: the fund has improved recently, but the available peer set suggests that some thematic funds have delivered much stronger longer-run momentum where data is available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 11 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>One 97 Communications Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>7.09%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eternal Limited<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>6.95%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>PB Fintech Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>6.93%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coforge Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>6.83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hexaware Technologies Limited<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Equities<\/td>\n<td>5.67%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Zensar Technologies Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>4.85%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Esds Software Solution Ltd<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>4.73%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Firstsource Solutions Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>4.72%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Info Edge India Ltd<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>4.23%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eclerx Services Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>3.68%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 55.68% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/motilal-oswal-digital-india-fund-g-direct-plan\">Motilal Oswal Digital India Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest position, One 97 Communications Limited, is 7.09% of the portfolio, so it is large enough to matter but not so dominant that the fund appears to depend on a single stock.

Compared with peers on the available figures, its 1-year return is more modest, while the portfolio remains fairly focused, with the top 10 holdings accounting for 55.68% of assets. That makes it a fit for investors who can tolerate High Risk exposure and want a concentrated theme-oriented equity fund rather than a broad market-style holding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 15 September 2026 at 3:25 PM IST<\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-login-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;background:#eef5ff;border:1px solid #cddff7;text-align:center\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_mutual_funds_with_Univest\"><\/span>Explore mutual funds with Univest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Review mutual fund data, compare performance and explore fund insights on Univest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"display:inline-block;padding:11px 20px;border-radius:6px;background:#1f4e79;color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none;font-weight:700\">Explore Univest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"univest-disclaimer\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RIA_disclosure\"><\/span>RIA disclosure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks.
