Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -0.54%, 0.56% and 0%, and the fund sits in the Low Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this looks like a relatively defensive hybrid option with modest recent movement and limited live history. The combination of a low-risk profile, a large cash and short-duration allocation, and return figures that have stayed close to flat suggests a fund better suited to investors who want steadier behaviour than the benchmark rather than fast upside.<\/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, it slipped slightly while the benchmark declined more sharply, and in 3 months it was positive when the benchmark stayed negative. That tells us the portfolio has been comparatively resilient, even though the move higher has been small.<\/p>\n<p>The live history is still very short, so the longer view is limited. The 1-year figure is still negative, which means the fund has not yet turned recent stability into meaningful one-year growth. At the same time, the 3-month figure is positive, so the near-term trend is better than the 1-month result and hints at some recovery after a softer patch.<\/p>\n<p>Because the fund launched only in June 2026, the published 3-year and 5-year numbers do not represent long operating records in the usual sense. That makes the short-term pattern more important for interpretation. On that basis, the fund looks steadier than Nifty 50 in the periods available, but the scale of gains is still modest.<\/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_Platinum_Hybrid_Long-Short\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Platinum Hybrid 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 Platinum Hybrid Long-Short?

On the available return figures, the current fund has a clearer short-term record than the peer entries shown here, where the published return fields are not available. That makes the comparison more useful for the fund\u2019s own recent behaviour than for drawing a broad return hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p>The fund\u2019s 3-month strength relative to the benchmark is the more useful signal than the one-year figure, because the one-year number is still slightly negative. Since the peer return fields are not available in the comparison set, the main takeaway is that the fund\u2019s short-window stability stands out more clearly than any longer-horizon distinction at this stage.<\/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>7.99%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6.36% Government of India (MD 16\/02\/2031)<\/td>\n<td>Government Securities<\/td>\n<td>5.36%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7.35% Bharti Telecom Ltd.

The tenth holding is 2.17%, so the drop from the largest position to the tenth is fairly measured rather than abrupt. That suggests no single equity or bond position dominates the disclosed top slice on its own.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 34.84% of the portfolio, and the fund discloses 53 holdings overall. Our view is that this points to a spread-out structure rather than a tightly concentrated one, even though the holdings shown include both cash-like instruments and individual equities. The mix of government securities, treasury bills, corporate debt and banks may help keep day-to-day swings milder than in a pure equity fund.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the visible list also shows that the largest weights are still clustered in cash and sovereign-linked instruments first, with equity exposure appearing lower down the table. For investors, that means the portfolio may be designed to prioritise steadier positioning and liquidity over aggressive concentration in one or two growth bets.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/platinum-hybrid-long-short-fund-g-direct-plan\">Platinum Hybrid Long-Short Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/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 low-risk hybrid positioning and are willing to accept modest return expectations in exchange for steadier behaviour. The available performance pattern shows only a small negative 1-year return and a slightly positive 3-month move, so the fund looks more appropriate for patience than for quick gains.<\/p>\n<p>It also fits better as part of a broader allocation than as a return-chasing standalone idea. The benchmark comparison suggests the portfolio has been more resilient than Nifty 50 in the short periods shown, while the portfolio mix leans toward cash, government securities and treasury bills, which may dampen volatility. The main trade-off is simple: you give up the chance of sharper upside in return for a more controlled ride.<\/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><strong>Exit load:<\/strong> 1% if units are sold on or before 90 days; nil after 90 days.<\/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 Platinum Hybrid Long-Short Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The current NAV is \u20b910.149 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 -0.54%, its 3-year return is 0.56%, and its 5-year return is Data not available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has it compared with Nifty 50 recently?<\/strong><br \/>It has been steadier than Nifty 50 in the available short windows.
