Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 17.78%, 19.87% and 0% respectively, and the scheme sits in the High Risk category. Our view is that it suits investors who can tolerate sharp swings and want sector-led equity exposure, but the weak short-term benchmark comparison means the recent run has been uneven even though the longer 3-year trend remains positive.<\/p>\n<p>The fund is concentrated in healthcare names and its largest holdings account for a substantial share of the portfolio, so stock selection matters. That makes it more suitable for investors with a longer horizon who can accept periods when returns trail the broader market before the sector\u2019s own cycle supports performance again.<\/p>\n<div

while the benchmark was negative. That tells us the portfolio has recently benefited from sector-specific strength rather than broad market support. The 1-year return is also comfortably positive at 17.78%, which is a meaningful contrast with the benchmark\u2019s -7.13% over the same period.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-year picture is still constructive at 19.87%, but it also shows that the fund\u2019s path has not been smooth. The 3-year return is well above the benchmark\u2019s 5.82%, yet the month-to-month trend in the underlying movement shows visible drawdowns and recoveries, which is typical of a concentrated thematic equity fund. That means gains have come with noticeable swings along the way.<\/p>\n<p>For a fund launched in July 2023, the 5-year row is not available in a practical sense, so the more useful lens is how the 1-year and 3-year numbers line up. The latest phase looks stronger than the benchmark, but the longer-run pattern still suggests this is a higher-variance fund rather than a steady market proxy.<\/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_Quant_Healthcare\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Quant Healthcare?<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 Quant Healthcare?

That suggests the latest stretch has been decent but not exceptional versus the names shown here.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-year comparison is more balanced because only one peer in the table has a usable 3-year figure, and that peer is ahead. Even so, this fund\u2019s 19.87% over 3 years still shows a solid compounding profile. The short-term and longer-term pictures therefore do not tell the same story: the recent pace has been respectable, while the multi-year outcome remains more moderate than the strongest peer figure available.<\/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>Glaxosmithkline Pharmaceuticals Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>10.58%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd 29\/09\/2026<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>9.83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Divi&#8217;S Laboratories Limited 29\/09\/2026<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>9.46%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Zydus Lifesciences Limited<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>9.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pfizer Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>8.83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alivus Life Sciences<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>8.08%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd 29\/09\/2026<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>7.87%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Concord Biotech Limited<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>7.03%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SMS Pharmaceuticals Limited<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>6.71%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ipca Laboratories Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Healthcare<\/td>\n<td>6.22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding is Glaxosmithkline Pharmaceuticals Ltd at 10.58%, which is large enough to matter but not so large that one position alone defines the fund. The weight then steps down gradually, with the tenth holding still above 6%, so influence is spread across several names rather than concentrated in just one stock.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings together account for approximately 83.91% of the portfolio, which means the disclosed part of the portfolio is fairly concentrated. Because the fund has 22 disclosed holdings in total, the visible book may still have a meaningful tail beyond the top positions, but the published allocation suggests that a relatively small group of healthcare companies is likely to have greater influence on returns.<\/p>\n<p>That concentration can help when the selected healthcare names move in the same direction, but it can also amplify slippage if the sector or a few large positions weaken. For investors, the key point is that this is not a broad diversified equity basket; it is a focused sector fund where stock selection and sector conditions can matter a great deal.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/quant-healthcare-fund-g-direct-plan\">Quant Healthcare 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 fits investors who are comfortable with High Risk and who can hold through uneven periods. The return pattern shows a stronger 1-year and 3-year outcome than the benchmark, but it also shows that the ride can be choppy, which is typical of a concentrated sector strategy.<\/p>\n<p>A longer horizon is more suitable here because the fund\u2019s performance can depend heavily on healthcare-sector sentiment and on a handful of large holdings. The main trade-off is simple: you get focused exposure to a specific equity theme, but you must accept that it may lag the broader market when the sector is out of favour.<\/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% on or before 15D, Nil after 15D.<\/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 Quant Healthcare Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>It is \u20b919.1917 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 returns are 17.78% for 1 year, 19.87% for 3 years and Data not available for 5 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the fund compare with its benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>It has outpaced the Nifty 50 over 1 month, 3 months, 1 year and 3 years.
