Mirae Asset BSE Select IPO ETF FoF Direct Growth Review 2026: NAV, Returns, Portfolio & Should You Invest?

Mirae Asset BSE Select IPO ETF FoF Direct Growth Plan currently has an NAV of ₹11.624 as of 15 Sep 2026 and scheme AUM of ₹9 Cr. Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -5.43%, 0% and 0%, and the scheme sits in the High Risk bucket. In our view, this is a fund for investors who want a focused, early-stage market theme and are comfortable with sharp swings rather than stable, broad-based compounding.

The portfolio is extremely concentrated, with almost all of the fund invested in one underlying ETF and a small cash-like balance. That structure can make outcomes depend heavily on the theme's own path, which helps explain why the shorter-term return picture has been uneven even though there has been some recovery over the recent three-month period.

Performance

Period	Fund return	Benchmark return
1M	-2.22%	-4.81%
3M	7.64%	-3.63%
1Y	-5.43%	-8.27%
3Y	Data not available	Data not available
5Y	Data not available	Data not available

The recent three-month picture is stronger than the one-month figure and also better than the benchmark, which suggests a short-term recovery after a weaker patch. That matters because the fund's one-month return is still negative, so the path has not been smooth even over a short window.

At the one-year mark, the fund is negative, but it has still held up better than the benchmark. That tells us the scheme has not matched the broad market move, yet it has lost less than the benchmark over the same horizon. For a concentrated thematic vehicle, that relative resilience can be useful, but it is still not the same as a consistently strong compounding profile.

There is no 3-year or 5-year history to compare, so the longer-term evidence is limited. The trajectory since launch has therefore been shaped more by the recent recovery phase than by any full market cycle, and we would treat that as an important constraint when judging durability.

The current fund's 1-year return is far below the return figures shown by the silver- and gold-linked peers here, so its recent stretch has clearly been weaker than that peer set. That difference is important because the current fund is also operating with a very small asset base and a highly focused portfolio, which can make the outcome depend much more on the underlying theme than on broad market diversification.

Longer-horizon comparisons are harder to make because the current fund does not yet have 3-year or 5-year numbers, while some peers do. Even so, the available peer figures show that those funds with longer histories have already produced positive multi-year outcomes, which underlines how early the current fund is in its own track record.

Portfolio: where your money goes

Holding	Sector	Weight
Mirae Asset BSE Select Ipo ETF	Domestic Mutual Funds Units	99.26%
TREPS	Cash & Cash Equivalents and Net Assets	1.26%

The largest holding is Mirae Asset BSE Select Ipo ETF at 99.26%, so the fund is effectively carrying almost its entire exposure through one underlying position. That kind of structure may make the scheme closely tied to the direction of the IPO theme rather than to a wide spread of different holdings.

The drop from the largest holding to the cash-like balance is steep, and there are only two disclosed holdings in total. That tells us there is very little tail beneath the main position, so the portfolio is not designed to be a layered basket of multiple ideas.

Because the displayed holdings together account for 100% and there are only two rows, the fund looks highly concentrated rather than diversified across many positions. In practice, that means the main holding is likely to have greater influence on returns, while TREPS may contribute mainly as a liquidity buffer.

Who should invest

This fund fits investors who can tolerate High Risk and who are comfortable with a niche, theme-led exposure that may move differently from the broader market. The short-term record has improved versus the one-month reading, but the one-year figure is still negative, so the path has been choppy rather than steadily compounding.

It may suit an investor with a longer horizon who wants a focused satellite allocation instead of a core equity holding. The main trade-off is clear: the concentrated structure can amplify theme-driven upside when the underlying idea is in favour, but it can also leave the fund exposed when that theme is weak relative to the market or to other sector-led opportunities.

That makes it suitable mainly for investors who can accept theme-led volatility and who want a narrow satellite-style exposure rather than a diversified core fund.
