Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -2.95%, 9.59% and 0% respectively, and the scheme is tagged as High Risk. Our view is that this fund suits investors who can accept uneven short-term outcomes in exchange for an index-led strategy with a focused portfolio that has still held up better over 3 years than over the most recent 1 year.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark is Nifty 50, but the recent return pattern has been weaker than the longer run in parts of the review period. That makes it more appropriate for investors who understand that index strategies can still go through sharp stretches of weakness, even when the longer-term picture improves.<\/p>\n<div

The fund\u2019s return is positive and clearly ahead of the benchmark, which indicates that the strategy has recovered better over the medium term than it did in the recent weaker phase.<\/p>\n<p>The 5-year figure is not available, so we do not have a long full-cycle return to compare.

The tenth holding is 3.69%, so the drop from first to tenth is fairly shallow, which points to a clustered top basket rather than one stock carrying most of the weight.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the 10 holdings together account for 39.43% of the portfolio, while the scheme discloses 30 holdings in total. This suggests the fund may still have meaningful spread beyond the visible top slice, even though the listed names are fairly close in weight and may move together in some market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>For an index fund, that profile can be useful because it avoids extreme single-stock dependence, but it also means investors should not expect one or two large positions to dominate outcomes in a simple way. The broader tail of holdings may matter, yet the top basket is still significant enough to shape returns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 18 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 is better suited to investors who are comfortable with High Risk products and who can stay invested for several years.

The trade-off is clear: you may get better medium-term recovery than the most recent year suggests, but you must be willing to tolerate weak stretches and accept that short-term performance can move against the benchmark.<\/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 18 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 Nippon India Nifty Alpha Low Volatility 30 Index Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>It is \u20b915.7735 as of 18 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s recent returns?<\/strong><br \/>The fund\u2019s 1-year return is -2.95%, its 3-year return is 9.59%, and its 5-year return is 0%.
