The scheme\u2019s AUM stands at \u20b92,700 Cr, and its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 0%, 0% and 0% respectively. It carries a High Risk tag, so our view is that it suits investors who can tolerate sharp swings and who want an equity-oriented allocation layered through underlying equity funds.<\/p>\n<p>The current profile looks more suited to a patient investor than to someone looking for steady near-term gains. Recent performance has been soft, and the portfolio is built almost entirely from equity fund holdings, so the return path can differ meaningfully from a plain benchmark like Nifty 50.<\/p>\n<div

both the 1-month and 3-month windows. The 1-month return of -3.62% is not comfortable, yet the benchmark\u2019s -4.41% shows the fund lost less than Nifty 50 over the same stretch.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-month picture is also less negative for the fund than for the benchmark. That gap matters because it suggests the portfolio has not simply tracked the index down in lockstep; it has shown some relative resilience even while the absolute trend stayed subdued.<\/p>\n<p>What stands out more, though, is the absence of meaningful longer-horizon return history in the visible performance snapshot. As a fund launched in late September 2025, it is still too early to read a mature compounding pattern from 3-year or 5-year figures here, so the recent drift matters more than any long-range narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is currently a fund to judge on behaviour rather than on a long record of gains. The short-term pattern suggests active underlying choices have helped soften the fall versus the benchmark, but the recent numbers are still negative enough to keep expectations grounded.<\/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_HDFC_Diversified_Equity_All_Cap_Active_FOF\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD HDFC 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 HDFC Diversified Equity All Cap Active FOF?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639.<\/p>\n<p>On the latest 1-year comparison, this fund trails the better-performing peer set by a wide margin because its own 1-year figure is still not available in a meaningful way in the current snapshot. Several peers show positive 1-year returns, while this scheme\u2019s recent record remains incomplete from the visible long-horizon perspective.<\/p>\n<p>The short-term story is more balanced against the benchmark than against peers. The fund has been less negative than Nifty 50 over 1 month and 3 months, but peers in the table are showing positive 1-year outcomes, so the comparison points to different lenses: relative defence versus the benchmark, and still-developing return history versus peer funds.<\/p>\n<p>Because the available peer data is concentrated in 1-year figures, the comparison says more about recent momentum than about stable long-term consistency. The key takeaway is that the fund has shown some near-term resilience versus Nifty 50, but it does not yet have a long return record that would let us judge its longer-term standing on the same basis as older peers.<\/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>HDFC Large Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>34.32%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Flexi Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan- Growth Option<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>27.89%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Large &amp; Mid Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan- Growth Option<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>14.29%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Small Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan- Growth Option<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>12.11%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Multi Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>9.04%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TREPS &#8211; Tri-Party Repo<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>2.58%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding is HDFC Large Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option at 34.32%, which is a very large single position for a fund-of-funds structure.

Against peers, the available comparison points show stronger 1-year outcomes elsewhere, while this fund\u2019s own record is still developing. The portfolio is concentrated in a handful of underlying HDFC schemes, so investors need to be comfortable with a High Risk structure and a fairly focused set of exposures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 17 September 2026 at 11:34 AM 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.
