Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 1.56%, 9.69% and 8.73% respectively, and it is marked High Risk. Our view is that the fund has delivered better medium- to long-term numbers than its recent one-year showing, while the portfolio\u2019s mix of equity and debt exposures points to a fund that can behave differently across market phases.<\/p>\n<p>The fund may suit investors who can stay invested through uneven periods and want an aggressive hybrid allocation rather than a pure equity approach. The current return pattern suggests that the longer holding period has been more rewarding than the latest year, so patience matters here.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65

short-term pattern is mixed. Over one month, the fund was negative, but it still fell less than the benchmark. Over three months, it moved back into positive territory while the benchmark remained weaker, which indicates that the fund has handled the recent stretch better than the index.<\/p>\n<p>The one-year result is modest, yet it is clearly ahead of the benchmark\u2019s negative return over the same period. That matters because it shows the portfolio was able to preserve more value than the index during a difficult market phase, even if the absolute gain was not strong.<\/p>\n<p>The longer record is more convincing. The 3-year return is higher than the 5-year return, which tells us the more recent multi-year stretch has been better than the full five-year period. Both figures are also ahead of the benchmark, so the fund has outpaced the index across the longer horizons, not just in a short rebound.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the performance pattern is not smooth, but it does show some resilience relative to the benchmark. The recent softness means the fund is not a steady month-to-month compounder, yet the 3-year and 5-year numbers suggest that patient investors have seen a better outcome than the index over time.<\/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_Union_Aggressive_Hybrid\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Union Aggressive Hybrid?<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 Union Aggressive Hybrid?

That means the fund\u2019s recent softness is not just a short-term issue; its longer-term numbers also trail the better peer outcomes on the available figures.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the gap is more visible in the one-year column than in the longer horizons. The 3-year and 5-year figures still show a positive multi-year record, so the comparison tells a more balanced story than the recent year alone. In our view, the peer set underlines that the fund has participated in long-term growth, but not with the same strength as the better-performing peers in this sample.<\/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>TREPS<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>8.02%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>REC Ltd.**<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>4.47%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>4.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power Finance Corporation Ltd.**<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>3.22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>3.21%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development**<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>3.19%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>3.03%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>State Bank of India<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.63%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Indian Railway Finance Corporation Ltd.**<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>2.58%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axis Bank Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.38%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest disclosed holding is TREPS at 8.02%, which is a meaningful cash-and-equivalents allocation and may help dampen day-to-day swings. After that, the weights step down fairly quickly into the mid-4% to low-2% range, so no single listed equity or debt holding dominates the table on its own.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings together account for approximately 37.03% of the portfolio, and the remaining disclosed holdings extend across 71 positions in total. That combination suggests a fairly long tail beyond the largest names, even though the first few holdings still carry more weight and could have greater influence on returns and volatility.<\/p>\n<p>Because the table includes both bank stocks and corporate debt exposures alongside cash equivalents, the portfolio may behave more like a blended allocation than a single-asset equity fund. The presence of multiple debt positions and a sizable TREPS line can make the mix less concentrated in pure equity risk, although the High Risk label still signals that investors should expect noticeable movement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/union-aggressive-hybrid-fund-g-direct-plan\">Union Aggressive Hybrid Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/union-aggressive-hybrid-fund-g-direct-plan\">Union Aggressive Hybrid Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/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 better suited to investors who can tolerate High Risk and stay invested for a longer horizon.

The peer set shows a similar pattern: the fund trails stronger peers on the available return numbers, yet it still delivers a positive multi-year outcome. With a High Risk label, a blended portfolio and a meaningful cash-and-debt presence among the top holdings, it appears suited to investors who can accept uneven returns in exchange for a hybrid structure over a longer horizon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 16 September 2026 at 4:54 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.
