Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 6.05%, 7.53% and 0%, and the risk category is Balanced Risk.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a focused debt index fund with a steady but not standout return profile. The portfolio is dominated by state government securities maturing around 2028, so it may suit investors who want a defined-duration, bond-heavy allocation and can accept moderate interest-rate sensitivity.<\/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

The 3-year return of 7.53% is above the benchmark\u2019s 5.82%, so the fund has still outpaced the benchmark over a multi-year holding period rather than just in a short rebound.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the gap is not dramatic, and the pattern looks more like controlled compounding than aggressive upside. The time pattern suggests a relatively smooth path with modest month-to-month movement, which is consistent with a debt-oriented index fund rather than an equity-style growth profile.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, the key point is that the fund has done better than the benchmark in both the recent and medium-term windows, but it has not shown the kind of sharp acceleration that would change its basic character.<\/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_Mirae_Asset_Nifty_SDL_June_2028_Index\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Mirae Asset Nifty SDL June 2028 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 Mirae Asset Nifty SDL June 2028 Index?

The next few holdings are close behind, so the portfolio starts with a fairly tight cluster of state government securities rather than a very broad spread at the top.<\/p>\n<p>By the tenth holding, the weight has declined to 5.08%, so the drop from the largest position is noticeable but not extreme. That tells us the portfolio is not dominated by one security alone; instead, influence is shared across several near-dated state bonds.<\/p>\n<p>Because the top 10 already account for about 85.44% of the portfolio, the disclosed sleeve looks concentrated across a limited number of positions. With 15 holdings in total, the fund may still have a longer tail beyond the table, but the visible structure suggests that the leading securities are likely to have greater influence on returns and duration behaviour.<\/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 fits investors who are comfortable with Balanced Risk and want a debt-heavy, maturity-aware index exposure rather than an equity-style return profile. The 1-year and 3-year numbers show positive compounding, and the fund has stayed ahead of the benchmark across the available periods, but the gains have been measured rather than sharp.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that it suits a medium-term horizon where an investor can hold through rate movement and accept that returns may be steady instead of exciting. The main trade-off is between relative stability from government securities and the possibility of more limited upside compared with higher-growth peers shown in the comparison table.<\/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> 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_Mirae_Asset_Nifty_SDL_June_2028_Index_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of Mirae Asset Nifty SDL June 2028 Index Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b912.8842 as of 17 September 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 returns are 6.05% over 1 year, 7.53% over 3 years and 0% over 5 years.

Against the peer figures shown, it looks more restrained, which fits its debt-oriented and maturity-focused structure. The portfolio is concentrated in a set of near-dated state government securities, so the larger positions are likely to shape outcomes. It may suit investors looking for a balanced-risk, medium-term allocation with a relatively defined bond exposure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 18 September 2026 at 1:00 PM 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.
