Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -5.94%, 8.49% and 0% respectively, and the fund carries a High Risk label. Our view is that this is a better fit for investors who understand that a low-volatility strategy can still go through uneven phases, especially when short-term returns have lagged the benchmark and the broader holding pattern remains equity-led.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme is an index fund with a direct growth structure, so the key question is not manager-style stock picking but how closely the portfolio\u2019s low-volatility selection has behaved through different market stretches. The current return pattern suggests the fund has offered a mixed ride: the longer 3-year figure is positive, while the latest 1-year reading is negative.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

The 1-month return is negative, and the 3-month figure is also negative, so the fund has not had a clean short-term run even though the declines have not been extreme. That pattern is consistent with a low-volatility strategy that may still struggle when market leadership shifts away from steadier names.<\/p>\n<p>At the 1-year mark, the fund is still negative, but it has held up better than the benchmark over the same period. That tells us the portfolio has preserved relative resilience even though it has not produced a positive one-year outcome for investors.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-year return is a clearer strength. The fund has compounded positively over that span and has stayed ahead of the benchmark, which suggests the low-volatility approach has worked better over a fuller cycle than it has in the recent quarter-to-year window. The contrast between the short-term dip and the stronger 3-year figure points to a path that has not been smooth, but has still delivered better medium-term results than the benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>We do not have a 5-year return history because the scheme is too new for that period. As a result, the main read-through is between the recent weak phase and the stronger 3-year experience, not between a full market cycle and a mature long-term track record.<\/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_Bandhan_Nifty100_Low_Volatility_30_Index\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Bandhan Nifty100 Low Volatility 30 Index?<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 Bandhan Nifty100 Low Volatility 30 Index?

That split matters: the recent period has been weaker than several peers with strong one-year gains, but the 3-year figure is still ahead of the benchmark and better than some peers that do not even have a 3-year history available. The comparison therefore points to a fund whose short-term picture is subdued, but whose medium-term outcome is not out of line with the more stable end of the peer group.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, that means the story is not about chasing the strongest recent momentum. It is about whether a lower-volatility equity sleeve can still fit alongside other holdings even when near-term returns are choppy. The peer table also shows that the fund\u2019s longer track record is still limited, so the longer-run judgment remains incomplete.<\/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>ICICI Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>4.09%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bajaj Auto Limited<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>3.97%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>3.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nestle India Limited<\/td>\n<td>FMCG<\/td>\n<td>3.74%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>3.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tata Consultancy Services Limited<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>3.64%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Titan Company Limited<\/td>\n<td>Diamond &amp; Jewellery<\/td>\n<td>3.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bajaj Finserv Limited<\/td>\n<td>Finance<\/td>\n<td>3.59%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SBI Life Insurance Company Limited<\/td>\n<td>Insurance<\/td>\n<td>3.56%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NTPC Limited<\/td>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>3.52%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding, ICICI Bank Limited, sits at 4.09%, which is a modest weight for the top slot and suggests no single stock dominates the disclosed portfolio slice. The fall from the first holding to the tenth is also fairly gentle, moving from 4.09% to 3.52%, so the top end looks evenly spread rather than sharply tilted toward one name.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings together account for approximately 37.21% of the portfolio, and the scheme has 30 holdings in total. That combination points to a reasonably diversified core with a meaningful tail beyond the top names. In our view, the disclosed holdings are spread across sectors such as banking, healthcare, consumer staples, IT and insurance, which may help reduce reliance on a single industry theme.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the top positions are still large enough to matter day to day. The portfolio may be influenced more by the movement in a handful of higher weights than by the smallest positions, but the overall structure is not heavily concentrated in just one or two stocks.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/bandhan-nifty100-low-volatility-30-index-fund-g-direct-plan\">Bandhan Nifty100 Low Volatility 30 Index 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 may suit investors who are comfortable with High Risk exposure but still want an equity strategy that aims for steadier stock selection than a broad market portfolio. The 3-year return is positive and ahead of the benchmark, but the 1-year return is negative, so investors need to accept that short stretches can be disappointing even when the medium-term picture is better.<\/p>\n<p>The better fit is usually a longer horizon, because the recent weakness and the stronger 3-year trend do not point to a smooth straight-line journey. The main trade-off is that the fund may reduce some volatility relative to a plain index style, but it does not eliminate drawdowns and it can lag during shorter windows.<\/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: No exit load<\/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 Bandhan Nifty100 Low Volatility 30 Index Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The current NAV is \u20b915.2379 as of 16 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>The fund\u2019s 1-year return is -5.94%, the 3-year return is 8.49%, and the 5-year return is Data not available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has the fund performed versus its benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>It has done better than the benchmark over 1 year and 3 years, while the short-term 1-month and 3-month periods remain weak.
