Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 0%, 0%, and 0%, and the fund sits in the High Risk category. Our view is that it is best assessed as a newly launched, high-volatility option where the current portfolio structure matters more than any trailing multi-year history.<\/p>\n<p>Because the scheme was launched on 22 Sep 2025, the long-term return record is still too short to judge across full market cycles. The portfolio is built almost entirely from other Union equity funds, which makes the outcome depend heavily on the underlying funds\u2019 own moves rather than on broad diversification across unrelated assets.<\/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

Over 1 month, the fund was down 3.44%, but it still held up better than the benchmark\u2019s 4.41% decline. Over 3 months, the fund was up 2.63% while the benchmark was down 3.6%, which suggests the underlying portfolio had a stronger recovery pattern than the index over that stretch.<\/p>\n<p>The daily pattern within the 3-month stretch shows a generally improving trend with brief pullbacks, rather than a smooth climb. That matters because a fund of funds can move differently from a broad equity index when its underlying holdings are themselves diversified equity schemes. In practice, that can soften some index swings in one window and amplify them in another.<\/p>\n<p>The longer-term read is limited by the fund\u2019s recent launch. There is no 1-year, 3-year or 5-year performance history to compare against the benchmark in a meaningful trailing sense, so our view is that investors should treat the current figures as early behaviour rather than a mature track record.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the main performance takeaway is that recent momentum has been better than the benchmark over the 3-month period, but the scheme still lacks the history needed to judge repeatability across a full market cycle.<\/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_Union_Diversified_Equity_All_Cap_Active_FOF\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Union Diversified Equity All Cap Active FOF?<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 Diversified Equity All Cap Active FOF?

Among the peers with 1-year figures, the headline returns are much stronger, but those schemes are operating in different strategies, so the comparison should be read as a broad reference point, not a ranking.<\/p>\n<p>For longer horizons, the current fund does not yet have 3-year or 5-year numbers, so the comparison cannot support a mature relative view. The available peer data also does not add a longer-horizon story here, because those rows do not show 3-year or 5-year returns. So the short-term comparison is the only useful one, and it points to a fund that is still too early in its life to stand beside established peers on a full-cycle basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 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>Union Multicap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Grow<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>55.72%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Union Small Cap Fund &#8211; Growth<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>16.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Union Midcap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>12.13%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Union Large &#038; Midcap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>9.67%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Union Largecap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>4.46%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TREPS<\/td>\n<td>Cash &#038; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>1.68%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding, Union Multicap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Grow, carries a 55.72% weight, so it is likely to have the greatest influence on the scheme\u2019s behaviour. The next four positions are also sizeable, but the drop from 55.72% to 16.5% is steep, which tells us the portfolio is anchored by one dominant allocation rather than balanced evenly across many sleeves.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining holdings step down again to 12.13%, 9.67%, 4.46% and 1.68%. That pattern suggests the fund may behave more like a concentrated wrapper around a small set of underlying equity funds than like a widely spread basket. In other words, the top positions could drive most of the outcome, while the smaller sleeve adds only a limited buffer.<\/p>\n<p>There are 6 disclosed holdings, and the displayed positions account for 100% of the portfolio. That means the structure is fully visible and fairly compact, with very little left outside the shown holdings. For investors, the key point is that diversification exists through the underlying funds, but the top allocation still has a strong say in the overall return path.<\/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 suits investors who can tolerate High Risk and are comfortable with a product that is still early in its history. The 3-month bounce has been better than the benchmark, but the absence of a meaningful 1-year, 3-year or 5-year track record means the evidence base is thin.<\/p>\n<p>The setup is more suitable for a longer horizon rather than a short holding period, especially because the portfolio is concentrated in a few underlying Union equity funds. The main trade-off is between the possibility of differentiated equity exposure and the reality that one dominant holding can shape outcomes quite heavily.<\/p>\n<p>For investors comparing it with a plain benchmark-linked equity fund, the appeal lies in its fund-of-funds structure. The cost of that structure is that returns may be less straightforward to judge, especially before the scheme has lived through multiple 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: 1% on or before 1Y, Nil after 1Y.<\/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=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>What is the current NAV of Union Diversified Equity All Cap Active FOF Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The NAV is \u20b910.6952 as of 16 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 0%, 0% and 0% because the scheme is too new for those trailing figures to be meaningful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has it done versus the benchmark recently?<\/strong><br \/>It fell 3.44% over 1 month and rose 2.63% over 3 months, while the benchmark fell 4.41% and 3.6% over the same periods.
