Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -0.98%, 0% and 0%, respectively, and the scheme sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this fund is still building its track record, so the short history matters more than any long-term pattern at this stage. The portfolio leans toward quality-style large-cap names across industrials, consumer, IT and auto-linked businesses, which may help explain why the fund can behave differently from the Nifty 50

weak in the shorter windows. Over 1 month and 3 months, the fund declined more than the Nifty 50 benchmark, which tells us the scheme has not been a defensive shelter in the latest stretch. That matters for investors who expect an index fund to closely shadow the market; here, the tracking pattern has been less steady in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>The one-year picture is more encouraging than the recent monthly numbers. The fund\u2019s -0.98% return is materially better than the benchmark\u2019s -8.27% fall, so the scheme has protected capital better over the full year even though the latest months were soft. In other words, the fund has not moved in a straight line, but the broader one-year result is less negative than the index it follows.<\/p>\n<p>Because the scheme launched in April 2025, the 3-year and 5-year figures are not available yet. That limits how strongly we can read the longer-compounding story. For now, our view is that investors should focus on the one-year behavior and the recent drawdown pattern rather than expecting a mature long-run record.<\/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_BSE_Quality_Index\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Tata BSE Quality 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 Tata BSE Quality Index?

The gap is especially clear versus the stronger peer numbers in the 18% to 33% range, which means the fund has had a much softer recent run than several other index strategies in this set. That does not by itself define the fund\u2019s suitability, but it does show that short-term momentum has been absent.<\/p>\n<p>On the longer horizon that is available, the comparison is mixed. The fund does not yet have 3-year or 5-year history, while two peers do show positive 3-year figures and one shows a positive 1-year and 3-year record. So the available peer set suggests that some index funds in the broader universe have already established stronger multi-year compounding, whereas this scheme is still too early in its life to make the same case.<\/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>Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Capital Goods<\/td>\n<td>6.81%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nestle India Ltd<\/td>\n<td>FMCG<\/td>\n<td>6.06%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ge Vernova T&#038;D India Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Capital Goods<\/td>\n<td>5.88%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cummins India Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>5.85%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hero Motocorp Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>5.66%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tata Consultancy Services Ltd<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>5.46%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Consumer Durables<\/td>\n<td>5.32%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hindustan Unilever Ltd<\/td>\n<td>FMCG<\/td>\n<td>5.25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Suzlon Energy Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Capital Goods<\/td>\n<td>5.08%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infosys Ltd<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>5.02%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 56.39% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/tata-bse-quality-index-fund-g-direct-plan\">Tata BSE Quality Index Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest holding, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, has a weight of 6.81%, which is meaningful but not extreme for a concentrated equity index fund. The gap from the first holding to the tenth holding is only modest, with Infosys Ltd at 5.02%, so the top positions are fairly tightly grouped rather than sharply stepped down.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the displayed holdings still account for 56.39% of the portfolio, so a little over half the scheme sits in the first ten names while 18 more disclosed holdings make up the rest. Our view is that this suggests moderate concentration in a handful of positions, but not a narrow one-stock style structure. The mix across capital goods, FMCG, auto and IT also points to a diversified large-cap style exposure rather than a single-sector bet.<\/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 can tolerate High Risk and are comfortable with near-term swings.
