Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -9.01%, 3.97% and 0% respectively, and it sits in the High Risk bucket.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this fund suits investors who want a straightforward index-style equity exposure and can accept periods of weakness. The portfolio is concentrated in large financial and infrastructure names, so short-term moves can stay closely tied to the market\u2019s direction rather than offering a strong buffer.<\/p>\n<div

Over one month and three months, the fund stayed close to the benchmark, which suggests it has moved in broadly the same market direction rather than materially diverging. The one-year number is weaker, though, and it shows that the fund has not fully kept pace with the benchmark through the most recent stretch.<\/p>\n<p>The longer trend is still positive, but not especially strong. The 3-year return is above zero, which tells us the fund has recovered from earlier weakness, yet it remains below the benchmark\u2019s 3-year return. That gap matters because an index fund is generally expected to stay close to its reference index over time.<\/p>\n<p>The time pattern also shows sharper swings over the past year than the broader 3-year history would suggest. In practical terms, that means the fund has not been a smooth compounding story recently, even though the multi-year picture is better than the latest one-year outcome.<\/p>\n<p>For an investor, the main takeaway is that the fund has behaved like a market-linked product with some short-term pressure and a middling medium-term result. It has not shown a sustained outperformance edge against the benchmark in the periods we can compare here.<\/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_Navi_BSE_Sensex_Index\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Navi BSE Sensex 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 Navi BSE Sensex Index?

The weight then steps down fairly gradually through ICICI Bank, Reliance Industries and Bharti Airtel, which indicates that the fund is not dependent on just one position.<\/p>\n<p>By the tenth holding, the weight is 3.25%, which is much smaller than the top position but still meaningful in a large-cap portfolio. That spread suggests the portfolio may not be overly reliant on a single stock, yet the top few names still carry a large share of the visible exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Because the top 10 holdings together make up 63.72% of the portfolio, the fund may behave like a concentrated large-cap basket rather than a very broad, evenly spread allocation. With 30 disclosed holdings overall, there is a longer tail beneath the largest names, but the highest weights are still the ones most likely to shape outcomes.<\/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 may suit investors who are comfortable with High Risk equity exposure and want a simple market-linked holding with a large-cap tilt. The 1-year decline shows that short-term losses are possible, while the 3-year return indicates some recovery over a longer holding period. Its benchmark-linked nature means the main trade-off is accepting market-style ups and downs in exchange for a transparent, rules-based portfolio. Investors with a longer horizon and patience for volatility are a better fit than those looking for stability or quick gains.<\/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 if units are sold anytime.<\/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 Navi BSE Sensex Index Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The current NAV is \u20b911.591 as of 17 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 -9.01%, its 3-year return is 3.97%, and its 5-year return is Data not available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the fund compare with its benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>In the periods where both figures are available, the fund is below the benchmark over 1 year and 3 years.
