Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 5.28%, 0% and 0%, and the scheme sits in the Low Risk category. Our view is that it suits conservative investors who want very low day-to-day volatility, but the return pattern is still short on longer track record depth.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio is heavily parked in cash-like instruments, which fits an overnight-style mandate. That may help limit price swings, but it also means return potential is naturally modest, especially when compared with broader market benchmarks over longer periods.<\/p>\n<div

been stable, with the fund holding up while the benchmark stayed weak over 1M, 3M and 1Y. That is an encouraging pattern for a conservative cash-management product, because it suggests the scheme has preserved value while broader equity-market sentiment remained under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The longer perspective is more limited because the fund was launched on 04 Jul 2025, so there is no true 3-year or 5-year record yet. That matters for interpretation: the 1-year figure gives us a useful snapshot, but it does not tell us how the fund behaves across a full market cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with the benchmark, the fund is ahead in every available period. The gap is especially visible over 1Y, where the fund is positive while the benchmark is negative. Our reading is that this is less about aggressive upside capture and more about the fund doing what an overnight strategy is meant to do: keep volatility low and avoid broad market drawdowns.<\/p>\n<p>The 3M pattern also looks more consistent than the benchmark\u2019s swings. For investors, that makes the scheme more relevant as a parking place for short-term money than as a return-seeking core holding.<\/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_JioBlackRock_Overnight\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD JioBlackRock 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 JioBlackRock Overnight?

That is not a large gap, but it does show that its recent outcome is slightly softer than several comparable overnight strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger contrast comes in the longer horizon rows, where the peers with established records show 3-year and 5-year returns in the mid-6% to high-5% range, while this fund does not yet have those figures because it is a newer scheme. So the comparison tells two different stories: near-term performance is competitive, but the longer-term peer record is not yet something this fund can match on a like-for-like basis.<\/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>Reverse Repo (01-Sep-2026)<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>94.04%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>182 DTB (10-Sep-2026)<\/td>\n<td>Treasury Bills<\/td>\n<td>3.18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>91 DTB (24-Sep-2026)<\/td>\n<td>Treasury Bills<\/td>\n<td>3.17%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>182 DTB (03-Sep-2026)<\/td>\n<td>Treasury Bills<\/td>\n<td>2.54%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding, Reverse Repo (01-Sep-2026), accounts for 94.04% of the portfolio, so a single cash-like instrument is carrying most of the scheme\u2019s current positioning. That is consistent with an overnight mandate and may help keep the NAV steady, but it also means the portfolio has very little spread across assets.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining holdings are all Treasury Bills, and the weights fall sharply after the top holding. The last disclosed holding is only 2.54%, which shows that the disclosed portfolio is extremely top-heavy rather than evenly distributed.<\/p>\n<p>Because the four disclosed holdings together add up to 100%, there is no longer tail visible in the current holding list. In practical terms, the scheme appears highly concentrated in cash and government securities, which could support low volatility and quick liquidity, while leaving limited room for return variation from active asset rotation.<\/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 with a conservative risk tolerance who want a low-volatility place for short-duration money.

Its recent results are steady and ahead of the benchmark, but the scheme is still young, so the longer-term picture is not yet established. Compared with peers that have longer track records, the 1-year figure is competitive but not clearly ahead. The portfolio is overwhelmingly concentrated in reverse repo and Treasury Bills, which supports stability and liquidity, making the fund better suited to low-risk, short-horizon investors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 16 September 2026 at 6:43 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.
