Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 0%, 0% and 0% respectively, and the fund carries a High Risk profile. Our view is that this is a relatively new equity strategy with a defensive cash-and-bills buffer, so it may suit investors who can accept higher uncertainty while looking for a differentiated return pattern rather than a traditional long-only equity path.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio and recent return path suggest a fund that is still building its track record. The benchmark is Nifty 50, and the fund has moved broadly close to that index over the short periods available, but the lack of a longer performance history means the present case rests more on structure and early behaviour than on proven compounding.<\/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

In 1 month, the fund fell by 3.55% versus 3.66% for Nifty 50, and in 3 months it was down 1.49% versus 3.71% for the benchmark. That gap matters because it shows the portfolio has not simply mirrored the index on down days; it has been able to hold up a little better in this slice of time.<\/p>\n<p>The short-term pattern also looks uneven rather than steadily rising. The one-month path had a brief lift before rolling over into a softer finish, while the three-month path showed a mix of modest gains and drawdowns that ended close to flat-to-down. For investors, that means the fund is not yet displaying a clean trend of smooth compounding.<\/p>\n<p>We do not have usable 1-year, 3-year or 5-year return history here, so our view has to stay cautious. The absence of those longer figures makes it difficult to judge whether the recent short-term behaviour is part of a broader process or just the early life of a newly launched strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with the benchmark, the fund\u2019s recent behaviour is marginally better on a relative basis, but not strong enough to build a long-track-record case. The main takeaway is that the strategy has so far been more defensive than the index in the available windows, yet it still needs time before longer-horizon behaviour can be assessed with confidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 17 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_DynaSIF_Equity_Long-Short\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD DynaSIF Equity Long-Short?<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 DynaSIF Equity Long-Short?

That means the short-term comparison is mainly useful for seeing the fund\u2019s own recent behaviour rather than for drawing a firm peer hierarchy. The available evidence still points to a strategy that has been relatively close to the benchmark in recent periods, with a slightly softer drawdown profile than Nifty 50.<\/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>TREPS<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>21.59%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eternal Limited<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>3.88%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharti Airtel Limited<\/td>\n<td>Telecom<\/td>\n<td>3.56%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>91 Days Tbill (MD 28\/08\/2026)<\/td>\n<td>Treasury Bills<\/td>\n<td>2.69%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>91 Days Tbill (MD 17\/09\/2026)<\/td>\n<td>Treasury Bills<\/td>\n<td>2.68%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Iifl Finance Limited<\/td>\n<td>Finance<\/td>\n<td>2.57%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Larsen &amp; Toubro Limited<\/td>\n<td>Infrastructure<\/td>\n<td>2.55%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Computer Age Management Services Limited<\/td>\n<td>Business Services<\/td>\n<td>2.47%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>AU Small Finance Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.19%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axis Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>2.12%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 46.30% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/dynasif-equity-long-short-fund-g-direct-plan\">DynaSIF Equity Long-Short Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest disclosed holding, TREPS, stands at 21.59%, which is a substantial cash-like allocation and may temper day-to-day equity volatility. After that, the weights fall quickly into a narrower band: the next nine holdings all sit between 3.88% and 2.12%. That shape suggests the visible book is not dominated by many large stock positions; instead, one very large liquidity position sits above a cluster of mid-sized exposures.<\/p>\n<p>Because the top 10 disclosed holdings make up 46.30% of the portfolio, the remaining 54% or so is spread across 51 other disclosed holdings. That means the fund may still have a fairly long tail beneath the biggest names. At the same time, the size of the first position means the near-term behaviour of the fund could be influenced more by cash management and selective exposure than by a broad, highly concentrated equity basket.<\/p>\n<p>From an investor perspective, this mix can be read as a cautious structure inside a high-risk category. It may support flexibility, but it also means the fund\u2019s outcome will depend on how the manager uses that large cash-and-bills base alongside the equity positions already shown.<\/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 is suited to investors who can live with High Risk and are comfortable with a strategy that is still early in its history. The available short-term returns are close to the benchmark but do not yet build a long record of strong compounding, so the case is more about watching the process than expecting a proven equity outcome.<\/p>\n<p>A longer investment horizon is important here because the fund has only short-period evidence available. Investors who want consistency across 1-year, 3-year and 5-year windows may find the current record too incomplete, while those who can tolerate a new strategy and a meaningful cash-and-bills component may see the structure as a feature rather than a flaw.<\/p>\n<p>The main trade-off is between flexibility and certainty. The portfolio carries a large liquidity position, which may help control swings, but the fund still sits in a high-risk wrapper and has not yet shown a full longer-term return pattern.<\/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: 0.50% on or before 3 months, nil after 3 months.<\/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<p><strong>What is the current NAV of DynaSIF Equity Long-Short Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The current NAV is \u20b910.4129 as of 17 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s recent returns?<\/strong><br \/>The fund\u2019s 1-month return is -3.55% and its 3-month return is -1.49%.

The portfolio\u2019s large TREPS allocation gives it a distinct cash-heavy shape, which may soften swings but also makes the strategy different from a plain equity fund.
