Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 5.31%, 6.11% and 5.73%, and the fund sits in the Low Risk category. Our view is that this is a conservative overnight debt option for investors who value capital stability and steady short-horizon compounding more than higher return potential.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio is built almost entirely around cash and very short-duration instruments, so the return pattern has remained restrained but relatively orderly. That makes the fund more relevant for parking surplus money or holding a defensive debt allocation than for pursuing aggressive growth.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65

short-term return pattern has been calm, with the fund posting small positive gains over 1 month and 3 months while the benchmark was negative over the same horizons. That kind of behaviour is consistent with an overnight-style debt fund: the objective is not sharp upside, but a smooth, low-drawdown path.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1 year, the fund has held up much better than the benchmark, which finished negative. That gap matters because it shows the fund\u2019s defensive profile during a weak benchmark stretch, even though the absolute return level remains modest.<\/p>\n<p>The longer record is steadier than exciting. The 3-year return of 6.11% is slightly ahead of the benchmark\u2019s 5.59%, while the 5-year return of 5.73% is also marginally above the benchmark\u2019s 5.58%. Our read is that the fund has not relied on a sudden pickup in recent months; instead, it has delivered a relatively consistent compounding pattern that fits a low-volatility debt allocation.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with the benchmark, the fund has clearly been more resilient in the recent period and still maintains a small edge over longer windows. That combination suggests the fund has behaved in line with its conservative mandate rather than showing bursts of aggressive return-seeking.<\/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_Tata_Overnight\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Tata Overnight?<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 Tata Overnight?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639.<\/p>\n<p>The current fund trails the peer group on 1-year return, where the available comparison funds are clustered around the mid-6% area. The gap is smaller on longer windows, but the current fund still sits below the 3-year and 5-year figures shown by the better-performing peers with available histories.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the return profile is not inconsistent with a more defensive overnight fund. The peer comparison suggests that some liquid funds have compounded a little faster, while this fund has delivered a steadier and more restrained path. The difference between the short-term and long-term comparisons is therefore important: the peers lead on raw return figures, but the current fund\u2019s appeal remains in its low-risk behaviour and orderly performance profile rather than in stretching for the highest numbers.<\/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>Repo<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>97.42%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TREPS<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>1.49%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>** Treasury Bill 182 Days (10\/09\/2026) $$<\/td>\n<td>Treasury Bills<\/td>\n<td>1.09%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>** Treasury Bill 91 Days (03\/09\/2026)<\/td>\n<td>Treasury Bills<\/td>\n<td>0.55%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding, Repo, is 97.42% of the portfolio, so the fund is heavily anchored in overnight-style cash management. That single position is so large that it is likely to have the biggest influence on day-to-day stability and on how closely the fund tracks its conservative mandate.<\/p>\n<p>The decline from the largest holding to the smaller positions is steep. TREPS is only 1.49%, and the two treasury bills are 1.09% and 0.55%, which shows that the portfolio is not spread evenly across many active bets. Instead, the visible holdings are concentrated in a very short tail of four instruments, with cash and near-cash exposure dominating the structure.<\/p>\n<p>Because the top holdings already add up to 100% and only four holdings are disclosed, the portfolio appears highly concentrated in ultra-short instruments rather than diversified across many line items. That can support a stable return profile, but it also means the fund\u2019s character is defined much more by cash-like exposure than by broad security selection.<\/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 is best understood as a low-risk liquid allocation for investors who want a conservative place to hold surplus cash over short horizons.

The main trade-off is simple: you accept limited upside in exchange for a calmer return path and a portfolio dominated by cash-like holdings. That profile is more suitable for capital preservation and short-term parking than for building long-term growth.<\/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><strong>Exit load:<\/strong> No exit load.<\/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=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_NAV_of_Tata_Overnight_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of Tata Overnight Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b91455.5258 as of 15 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_funds_1-year_3-year_and_5-year_returns\"><\/span>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The 1-year return is 5.31%, the 3-year return is 6.11%, and the 5-year return is 5.73%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_has_it_performed_against_the_benchmark\"><\/span>How has it performed against the benchmark?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fund has been ahead of the benchmark over 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years.
