Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 2.38%, 12.22% and 12.15%, and the scheme carries a High Risk label. Our view is that it has delivered a steadier long-term pattern than its recent 1-year stretch, but the latest outcome remains modest. That makes it more suitable for investors who are comfortable with equity volatility and want a value-oriented portfolio over a longer horizon.<\/p>\n<p>The fund is not a low-volatility choice. With a benchmark of Nifty 50 and a portfolio spread across 71 holdings, it can suit investors who are willing to accept uneven shorter-term movement in exchange for a more patient holding period.<\/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 trend is softer than the medium-term record. Over 1 month and 3 months, the fund stayed negative, but it still held up better than the benchmark in both windows. That relative resilience matters because it shows the portfolio has not been tracking the market in a plain-vanilla way.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year figure is the weakest part of the profile. At 2.38%, the fund has been positive, but the benchmark moved lower over the same period, so the fund did better than Nifty 50 even in a difficult market phase. That said, the absolute return is still subdued for an equity scheme and does not match the stronger 3-year and 5-year record.<\/p>\n<p>Longer-term, the picture improves meaningfully. The 3-year return of 12.22% and the 5-year return of 12.15% both stand well above the benchmark\u2019s 5.74% and 5.67%. Our read-through is that the strategy has rewarded patience, even though the short-term path has been uneven. The time pattern also suggests that investors may need to accept periods of lag before the longer compounding profile shows up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 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_ITI_Value\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD ITI Value?<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 ITI Value?

The gap from the first holding to the tenth holding is not dramatic, because the tenth position still carries 2.04% weight. That tells us the portfolio is not built around a single oversized bet at the top.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings together account for approximately 24.81% of the portfolio, and the fund discloses 71 holdings in total. Our view is that this points to a spread-out structure with a long tail rather than a tight, heavily concentrated core. The listed positions may influence returns, but the overall mix suggests no single stock is likely to drive the entire outcome by itself.<\/p>\n<p>That structure can help reduce dependence on one or two names, although it may also mean the fund needs several positions to work together before the portfolio shows a strong finish. For an investor, the important point is that the holding pattern looks diversified within the disclosed core, while still allowing individual stock selection to matter.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/iti-value-fund-g-direct-plan\">ITI Value Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 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 can tolerate High Risk equity swings and are comfortable waiting through weak patches.
