Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -0.15%, 0% and 0%, and the fund sits in the High Risk category. In our view, this is a fit only for investors who are comfortable with sharp swings and want an index-based multicap strategy rather than a steadier outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The recent return pattern is weak, and the fund has also stayed behind its benchmark over the periods available. At the same time, the portfolio is led by a fairly short list of holdings, so investors are taking a concentrated exposure profile within a rules-based structure.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

negative, but the decline was milder than the benchmark\u2019s fall. Over three months, the fund was also negative, though only slightly less weak than the benchmark. That points to a strategy that has remained defensive relative to the index in the near term, even if it has not produced positive absolute returns.<\/p>\n<p>On the one-year view, the fund is still below zero, but the gap versus the benchmark is very wide because the benchmark has fallen much more sharply. That makes the recent comparison look better than the absolute return figure alone. For investors, the important point is that relative resilience has not translated into meaningful gains, so the fund still carries a weak return profile on a stand-alone basis.<\/p>\n<p>There is no 3-year or 5-year performance history available for this scheme, so we cannot judge long-run compounding in the same way we can for older funds. What we can say is that the available shorter-run pattern is uneven, with the fund moving through a negative stretch while preserving more value than the benchmark in the same windows.<\/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_Edelweiss_Nifty500_Multicap_Momentum_Quality_50_Index\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Edelweiss Nifty500 Multicap Momentum Quality 50 Index?<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 Edelweiss Nifty500 Multicap Momentum Quality 50 Index?

The available return pattern shows weakness over 1 month, 3 months and 1 year, even though it has held up better than the benchmark in those same windows.<\/p>\n<p>Because the scheme is an index fund with a multicap momentum-quality tilt, it can appeal to investors who want systematic equity exposure rather than active stock selection. The trade-off is that this kind of strategy may still go through periods of drawdown and may lag stronger peer outcomes in shorter windows.
