Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 6.46%, 7.16% and 6.33%, and the fund sits in the Balanced Risk category. Our view is that this is a steady debt option for investors who want floating-rate exposure with moderate price movement and a return pattern that has stayed broadly consistent across longer periods.<\/p>\n<p>The fund has delivered returns that are close to its longer-term trend, while the benchmark has been weaker over the same horizons. That combination, along with its portfolio mix of corporate debt, government securities and cash, makes it more suitable for investors who value relative stability over aggressive return swings.<\/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

shorter periods have been constructive for the fund, with positive 1-month, 3-month and 1-year returns, while the benchmark has been negative over the same windows. That tells us the scheme has held up better than the benchmark in recent periods and has done so with limited day-to-day drift in the displayed movement pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Over 3 years and 5 years, the fund has stayed in a fairly narrow return band around the mid-6% to low-7% area. That is not a dramatic growth profile, but it does point to consistency. The benchmark has lagged over those horizons as well, so the fund has remained ahead on the available trailing return figures.<\/p>\n<p>We also see a change in tone across the time windows: the near-term figures are better than the benchmark by a wide margin, but the longer-term numbers are only modestly above the fund\u2019s own shorter-term pace. In our view, that suggests a disciplined debt strategy rather than a fund that depends on sharp market moves to deliver results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 15 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_UTI_Floating_Interest_Rates\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD UTI Floating Interest Rates?<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 UTI Floating Interest Rates?

On the 1-year figure, the fund trails the strongest peer in this set and sits slightly below several others, though the gap is not large versus the middle of the group. The longer-term picture is also mixed: its 3-year and 5-year returns are below the leading peer figures shown here, but they remain within a fairly tight cluster, which points to a competitive though not standout run.<\/p>\n<p>What matters more is that the short-term and long-term stories are broadly aligned. The fund is not showing a sudden jump in recent performance, and it is also not falling far behind the peer set on the longer horizon. That makes it a steadier comparison rather than a sharp outlier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 15 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>NCD National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>7.92%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NCD Small Industries Development Bank of India<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>7.89%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NCD REC Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>7.87%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>06.36% Gsec Mat- 16\/02\/2031<\/td>\n<td>Government Securities<\/td>\n<td>6.29%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NCD Power Finance Corporation Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>5.41%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Net Current Assets<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>5.31%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>GOI FRB &#8211; Mat 04\/10\/2028<\/td>\n<td>Government Securities<\/td>\n<td>4.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NCD Mahindra and Mahindra Financial Services Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>4.77%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NCD Embassy Office Parks Reit<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>4.76%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NCD Tata Capital Housing Finance Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>4.75%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 59.77% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/uti-floating-interest-rates-fund-g-direct-plan\">UTI Floating Interest Rates Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest holding is 7.92%, so no single position dominates the portfolio. The weights then step down gradually, with the tenth holding at 4.75%, which suggests that the visible book is spread across several positions rather than concentrated in just one or two names.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the top 10 holdings together account for 59.77% of the portfolio, so the fund still has meaningful exposure in its leading positions. With 27 disclosed holdings in total, the remaining positions likely create a longer tail that may help diversify idiosyncratic credit exposure. In our view, that balance between visible concentration and a broader tail fits a cautious floating-rate debt strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 15 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 a Balanced Risk debt allocation and want a relatively steady return profile rather than sharp upside.
