Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 6.47%, 7.16% and 0%, and the scheme carries a Balanced Risk label. In our view, this is a cash-and-short-duration style debt fund that has delivered steady mid-single-digit gains over 1Y and 3Y, while the 5Y figure is not available in a meaningful way because the scheme has not completed five years since launch.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio is built around certificates of deposit, commercial paper and cash equivalents, which supports a measured profile rather than a high-volatility one. For investors looking for a debt allocation that has been relatively steady in recent periods and does not rely on equity-like swings, the return pattern and holding mix point to a conservative, liquidity-oriented fit.<\/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

band. That usually points to a portfolio that is not chasing large moves, which suits a money-market style debt scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1 year, the fund has held up much better than the benchmark, which posted a negative return in the same period. That gap matters because it suggests the fund has been doing its core job of preserving and compounding capital more effectively than the benchmark used here.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-year figure is also healthy at 7.16%, and it comes with a smoother-looking path than a fund that depends on sharp jumps. The pattern from the return trend is one of gradual compounding rather than dramatic swings, and that is consistent with the short-duration, income-oriented profile of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>We would still note that the benchmark itself has been weak over 1 year and 3 months, so the comparison is more useful as a relative read on resilience than as a statement about absolute market conditions. Even so, the fund\u2019s recent behaviour looks steadier than the benchmark and remains broadly aligned with a defensive debt posture.<\/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_TRUSTMF_Money_Market\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD TRUSTMF Money Market?<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 TRUSTMF Money Market?

That said, the short-term comparison still looks orderly rather than weak, so the peer set tells a split story: recent steadiness is acceptable, but the longer-run figures available for peers are somewhat more supportive.<\/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>Punjab National Bank (09\/02\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>8.86%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TREPS 01-Sep-2026<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>8.86%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kotak Securities Limited (23\/02\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Commercial Paper<\/td>\n<td>8.81%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Indian Bank (24\/06\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>8.62%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Small Industries Dev Bank of India (14\/01\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>5.93%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bank of Baroda (02\/02\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>5.91%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited (04\/02\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>5.91%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Limited (12\/02\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>5.90%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Canara Bank (26\/02\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>5.89%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (17\/02\/2027)<\/td>\n<td>Certificate of Deposit<\/td>\n<td>5.89%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding is 8.86%, which is not especially dominant for a debt fund that focuses on short-term instruments.

In our view, that points to meaningful concentration in a limited set of short-term debt and cash instruments, but the spread across 18 holdings also leaves room for a broader tail that can contribute to stability.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/trustmf-money-market-fund-g-direct-plan\">TRUSTMF Money Market 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 suits investors who are comfortable with a debt allocation and can accept a Balanced Risk profile in exchange for relatively steady compounding.
