Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -6.65%, 0% and 0%, and the fund sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this fund suits investors who want a quality-focused index strategy and can tolerate a weak recent return pattern. The portfolio is anchored by large individual positions across IT, FMCG, capital goods and consumer names, which makes the fund look diversified across 30 holdings, even though the top names still matter meaningfully.<\/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

recent path. The 1-month number is weaker than the benchmark, while the 3-month figure is less negative than the benchmark, which suggests a short-term recovery phase after a choppy spell rather than a smooth trend.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1 year, the fund still sits in negative territory, but it has done better than the benchmark over that same period. That tells us the quality basket has held up a little better than the broad index, even though absolute returns remain soft.<\/p>\n<p>The return pattern also matters because this scheme launched on 09 Jun 2025, so the available history is short. The underlying path shows periods of dip and rebound rather than a clean upward compounding curve, which is what we would normally like to see in a newer index fund before calling the trend settled.<\/p>\n<p>For now, our reading is that the fund has not yet built a long, stable performance record. The recent numbers show some resilience versus the benchmark at times, but the fund still needs more history to show whether that relative stability can persist through a fuller market cycle.<\/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_ICICI_Pru_Nifty200_Quality_30_Index\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD ICICI Pru Nifty200 Quality 30 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 ICICI Pru Nifty200 Quality 30 Index?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639.<\/p>\n<p>The current fund\u2019s 1-year return is well below the strongest peer figures listed here, so the short-term comparison is not flattering. At the same time, the current fund\u2019s 3-year and 5-year fields are not yet available, while some peers do show longer records, which makes the comparison uneven.<\/p>\n<p>What stands out is that the current fund\u2019s 1-year result has been negative while the available peer figures are clearly positive. That difference suggests the recent return story is weaker than the peer set, even though the fund has at least been ahead of its benchmark on a 1-year basis.<\/p>\n<p>Because several peer funds also do not yet have 5-year figures, the longer-horizon comparison is limited. Even so, the available data points indicate that this fund is still in an early stage of its own track record and has more ground to cover before its recent return pattern looks competitive against the peer group.<\/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>Tata Consultancy Services Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>5.47%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nestle India Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>FMCG<\/td>\n<td>5.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infosys Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>5.16%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharat Electronics Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Capital Goods<\/td>\n<td>4.81%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HCL Technologies Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>4.57%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bajaj Auto Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &#038; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>4.48%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hindustan Unilever Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>FMCG<\/td>\n<td>4.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ITC Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>FMCG<\/td>\n<td>4.23%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Consumer Durables<\/td>\n<td>4.21%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Britannia Industries Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>FMCG<\/td>\n<td>4.06%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 46.49% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/icici-pru-nifty200-quality-30-index-fund-g-direct-plan\">ICICI Pru Nifty200 Quality 30 Index Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest holding, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., is 5.47%, which is sizeable but not extreme for an index strategy with 30 holdings. The gap from the first holding to the tenth holding is modest, with the tenth name still at 4.06%, so the structure does not look heavily tilted toward just one or two positions.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the top 10 holdings together account for 46.49% of the portfolio, so the larger names may still have meaningful influence on the fund\u2019s day-to-day movement. The remaining 20 holdings therefore matter for breadth, but they appear to form a longer tail rather than the dominant driver of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Our reading is that the fund is moderately concentrated at the top while still spread across 30 holdings overall. The mix across IT, FMCG, capital goods, automobile and consumer durables suggests a diversified set of businesses, but the top slice is large enough that investors should expect the biggest names to shape returns more than the small tail.<\/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 fits investors who are comfortable with High Risk and can stay invested through a weak or uneven return phase. The recent negative 1-year figure means it is better suited to investors who can tolerate short-term drawdowns without reacting to every dip.<\/p>\n<p>The main appeal is the quality-oriented portfolio within an index framework, but the trade-off is that the current record is still short and the recent return trend has not been strong. Investors with a longer horizon may find the style easier to hold if they want a diversified equity exposure and are willing to accept that the outcome can lag in some market phases.<\/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>Exit load: No exit load if units are sold anytime.<\/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<p><strong>What is the current NAV of ICICI Pru Nifty200 Quality 30 Index Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The current NAV is \u20b99.4707 as of 15 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>Its 1-year return is -6.65%, while the 3-year and 5-year returns are not yet available in a meaningful way for this scheme\u2019s current record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has the fund done versus its benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>Over 1 year, the fund at -6.65% has done better than the benchmark at -8.27%.
