Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 0%, 0% and 0%, and the scheme sits in the Low Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that the fund looks more like a conservative, actively allocated multi-asset style portfolio than a standard equity fund. The return history is still very short because the scheme launched on 25 Mar 2026, so the better read is on its early behaviour, asset mix and benchmark comparison rather than on long-term track record.<\/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

Even so, the recent pattern is more stable than the benchmark in both 1-month and 3-month periods, and that matters for a fund with a Low Risk tag. The fund\u2019s 1-month return of -0.14% is only slightly negative, while the Nifty 50 is down more sharply over the same period.<\/p>\n<p>Over 3 months, the fund is positive at 1.82% while the benchmark remains negative. That does not prove a durable edge, but it does show that the portfolio construction has not simply tracked the benchmark\u2019s weakness over the period. For a new launch, this kind of relative steadiness is more useful than a short burst of upside.<\/p>\n<p>Because the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year figures are not available yet in a meaningful trailing sense, we do not read too much into the lack of long-history compounding. Our view is that investors should focus on how the fund behaves across different market phases, especially because the benchmark comparison so far is materially better than the index over the same windows.<\/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_DynaSIF_Active_Asset_Allocator_Long-Short\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD DynaSIF Active Asset Allocator 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 Active Asset Allocator Long-Short?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639. The comparison is limited because none of the peer return fields are available in a usable way, so the short-term reading rests mainly on the current fund\u2019s own recent behaviour. Even with that limitation, the fund\u2019s 1-month and 3-month returns appear steadier than the benchmark, which is a constructive sign for a Low Risk scheme. The longer-horizon peer comparison does not separate the funds on return history, so the practical distinction is currently in portfolio construction and early-period stability rather than in a published track record.<\/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>8.95% Vedanta Limited (16\/03\/2029)<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>7.06%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9% Ikf Finance Limited (27\/07\/2029) **<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>6.95%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Net Receivables \/ (Payables)<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>5.4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gold<\/td>\n<td>Gold<\/td>\n<td>5.32%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>National Highways Infra Trust<\/td>\n<td>Finance<\/td>\n<td>5.18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9% Piramal Finance Limited (28\/06\/2027) **<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>4.68%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8.3% Adani Power Limited (25\/01\/2030) **<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>4.65%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9.1% SK Finance Limited (09\/10\/2028) **<\/td>\n<td>Corporate Debt<\/td>\n<td>4.65%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Embassy Office Parks Reit<\/td>\n<td>Finance<\/td>\n<td>4.57%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bagmane Prime Office Reit<\/td>\n<td>Reits &amp; Invits<\/td>\n<td>3.64%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding is 8.95% Vedanta Limited (16\/03\/2029) at 7.06%, and the next few positions remain close enough to suggest a fairly distributed core rather than a single dominant bet. The fall from the first holding to the tenth is gradual, with the tenth position still at 3.64%. That shape may help reduce dependence on any one issuer or asset class.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings together account for approximately 52.1% of the portfolio, and the disclosed list covers 39 holdings in total. That means the fund is not concentrated only in a handful of positions, but the displayed names still carry meaningful influence because the top slice is over half the portfolio. In our view, the mix of corporate debt, gold, REITs and INVITs suggests a diversified construction that could behave differently from a plain equity portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/dynasif-active-asset-allocator-long-short-fund-g-direct-plan\">DynaSIF Active Asset Allocator Long-Short 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 fits investors who are comfortable with a Low Risk tag but still want an actively constructed portfolio that is not limited to standard equity exposure. The early return pattern is modest, and the benchmark comparison so far has been better than the Nifty 50 over the same recent windows, which may appeal to investors who value steadier behaviour over sharp upside. The trade-off is that the scheme is very new, so there is no long history yet to judge consistency across full market cycles.<\/p>\n<p>Its portfolio mix also matters. The presence of corporate debt, gold, REITs and INVITs may suit investors looking for diversification within one scheme, especially over a medium to longer horizon. The main expectation to keep in mind is that the fund may behave differently from a pure equity fund, with smoother moves in some periods but less scope for equity-style upside.<\/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% if units are sold within 3 months; nil after 3 months.<\/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<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_NAV_of_DynaSIF_Active_Asset_Allocator_Long-Short_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of DynaSIF Active Asset Allocator Long-Short Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b910.5332 as of 16 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_funds_1-year_3-year_and_5-year_returns\"><\/span>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 0%, 0% and 0%, but the scheme was launched only on 25 Mar 2026, so these longer trailing figures are not yet meaningful as a full history.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_has_the_fund_compared_with_the_Nifty_50_recently\"><\/span>How has the fund compared with the Nifty 50 recently?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It has held up better than the Nifty 50 in the recent periods shown.

The portfolio is diversified across debt, gold, REITs and INVITs, which may help explain the smoother profile. For investors who want a cautious, diversified allocation and can accept the limited track record, it may be worth closer monitoring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 18 September 2026 at 9:06 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.
