Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 3.77%, 7.39% and 0%, and the scheme is tagged as Medium Risk.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a relatively focused gilt index fund for investors who want government-securities exposure rather than broad equity-market participation. The return pattern has been steady over longer stretches, but the recent 1-year outcome is modest, so expectations should stay aligned with its interest-rate-sensitive profile.<\/p>\n<div

That is a meaningful gap in favour of the fund, and it suggests the strategy has handled the past year better than the benchmark, even though the return level itself is not high.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-year picture is stronger than the 1-year comparison because the fund has compounded at 7.39% against 5.82% for the benchmark. Our view is that this supports the idea of a steadier medium-term profile, but the recent pattern does not look like a smooth straight line; it has moved through small gains and pullbacks.

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639.<\/p>\n<p>The fund\u2019s 1-year return is well below the fastest-moving peer figures listed here, but that comparison sits beside very different fund styles and underlying exposures. On the longer horizon, the fund\u2019s 3-year return of 7.39% is still below the stronger peer numbers shown for funds with available 3-year data, so the gap is visible in both the recent and medium-term frames.<\/p>\n<p>The more useful takeaway is that the story is not identical across horizons. The fund\u2019s own 1-year result is better than its benchmark, while its 3-year number also leads the benchmark, so it has done its job relative to the comparison yardstick even if it trails several peers on absolute return. That makes the peer table more of a style-and-return contrast than a simple performance verdict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 17 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>7.54% Government of India<\/td>\n<td>Government Securities<\/td>\n<td>67.88%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6.67% Government of India<\/td>\n<td>Government Securities<\/td>\n<td>13.56%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6.48% Government of India<\/td>\n<td>Government Securities<\/td>\n<td>8.17%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6.94% Government of India<\/td>\n<td>Government Securities<\/td>\n<td>7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Net Current Assets<\/td>\n<td>Cash &#038; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>1.89%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Triparty Repo<\/td>\n<td>Cash &#038; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>1.23%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>With the largest holding at 67.88%, the portfolio is likely to be influenced primarily by that single government-security position. The next three government securities are much smaller, which means the weight falls sharply after the first line rather than being spread evenly across many bonds.<\/p>\n<p>The disclosed holdings total only six rows, and the top four government securities together account for 96.61% of the portfolio. That concentration suggests the fund may behave more like a focused government-bond maturity strategy than a widely diversified fixed-income basket.<\/p>\n<p>Because the table already covers every disclosed holding, there is little visible tail beyond these six positions. Our view is that this makes the fund\u2019s outcome more sensitive to the behaviour of a few sovereign holdings, while the cash-and-repo sleeve may mainly serve a supporting role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 17 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 Medium Risk and who can stay invested long enough for bond-market movements to play out.

The trade-off is straightforward: the fund offers sovereign-bond exposure and relatively contained expense levels, but it does not promise smooth outcomes in every quarter and it can lag far faster-returning peer funds when market conditions favour other segments.<\/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 17 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<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_NAV_of_Nippon_India_Nifty_G-Sec_Jun_2036_Maturity_Index_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of Nippon India Nifty G-Sec Jun 2036 Maturity Index Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b913.1957 as of 17 Sep 2026.

Its portfolio is heavily concentrated in government securities, led by 7.54% Government of India at 67.88%, and it has no exit load.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_line\"><\/span>Bottom line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This fund\u2019s recent numbers are positive but modest, while the 3-year record is stronger and remains ahead of the benchmark. Against the peer list, its absolute returns look restrained, which fits a sovereign-bond-oriented strategy more than a high-growth one. The portfolio is very concentrated in government securities, so one or two large positions can matter a lot. Our view is that it suits patient investors who want government-debt exposure and are comfortable with a medium-risk, interest-rate-sensitive path.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 18 September 2026 at 8:49 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.
