Tata BSE Select Business Groups Index Fund Direct Growth Review 2026: NAV, Returns, Portfolio & Should You Invest?

Tata BSE Select Business Groups Index Fund Direct Growth Plan is priced at ₹9.8779 as of 15 September 2026, with a scheme AUM of ₹225 Cr. Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 1.36%, 0% and 0%, while the fund sits in the High Risk bucket.

Our view is that this is a compact, concentrated index strategy that has delivered a modest 1-year outcome but has not yet built a longer return track record. The portfolio is led by a few large holdings, so the scheme may suit investors who can tolerate sharp swings and want a business-groups-based exposure rather than a smoother defensive allocation.

Performance

Period	Fund return	Benchmark return
1M	-5.53%	-4.81%
3M	-4.23%	-3.63%
1Y	1.36%	-8.27%
3Y	Data not available	Data not available
5Y	Data not available	Data not available

The short-term pattern has been uneven. Over 1 month and 3 months, the fund stayed under pressure, and it slipped a little more than the benchmark in both periods. That tells us the recent run has been volatile rather than steadily improving.

The 1-year picture is very different. The fund’s 1-year return of 1.36% is well ahead of the benchmark’s -8.27%, which means it has held up far better over a full year even though the last few months were weak. That gap matters because it shows the fund was able to recover more effectively after earlier softness.

For 3-year and 5-year returns, the scheme does not yet have a full long-term history to assess. So our view is that the available record points to a fund with a mixed short-term path, but one that has still outpaced the benchmark on the longest period currently available. The time pattern does not look smooth, and investors should expect the index exposure to move sharply when the underlying business-group stocks turn.

The current fund’s 1-year return is far below the five peer figures shown here, while two peers also have meaningful 3-year records that remain well above the fund’s available 1-year outcome. That said, the comparison is not identical across all rows because several peers do not have 3-year or 5-year figures available.

The picture therefore has two parts. On recent performance, the fund trails the stronger peer outcomes by a wide margin. On the longer records that are available, it also remains behind the peers with multi-year histories, which suggests that the fund’s present return profile has not matched the stronger momentum seen in some other index strategies.

Portfolio: where your money goes

Holding	Sector	Weight
Reliance Industries Ltd	Crude Oil	22.69%
Larsen & Toubro Ltd	Infrastructure	12.8%
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd	Automobile & Ancillaries	8.07%
Tata Consultancy Services Ltd	IT	5.11%
Titan Company Ltd	Diamond & Jewellery	4.46%
Hindalco Industries Ltd	Non – Ferrous Metals	3.97%
Ultratech Cement Ltd	Construction Materials	3.68%
Grasim Industries Ltd	Diversified	3.37%
JSW Steel Ltd	Iron & Steel	3.31%
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd	Logistics	3.27%

The top 10 holdings account for approximately 70.73% of the portfolio.

Reliance Industries Ltd is the largest holding at 22.69%, so it is likely to have greater influence on the scheme than any other single stock. The weight then steps down to 12.8% in Larsen & Toubro Ltd and 8.07% in Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, which shows that influence is spread across a few large positions rather than being evenly distributed.

By the tenth holding, the weight has fallen to 3.27%, which suggests a clear drop-off after the first few names. Because the top 10 holdings together make up 70.73% of the portfolio and the fund discloses 29 holdings in total, the portfolio may still have a meaningful tail beyond the largest positions, but the visible part is clearly concentrated in a handful of large stocks.

That concentration may help when the largest holdings do well, but it also means the portfolio could react strongly to moves in a small set of companies. For investors, the practical takeaway is that this is not a broadly diluted basket; it is a compact index exposure where a few positions are likely to matter most.

Who should invest

This fund is better suited to investors who can handle High Risk swings and who are comfortable with a portfolio that can move sharply over short periods. The recent 1-month and 3-month weakness shows that timing can matter, while the 1-year return suggests the scheme can still recover better than the benchmark over a longer stretch.

The main fit is for someone with a medium-to-long horizon who wants a business-groups-based index exposure and can accept concentration in a few large holdings. The key trade-off is straightforward: you get a focused equity strategy with the potential for benchmark outperformance in some phases, but you also take on sharper drawdowns and less stability than a more diversified or lower-volatility option.
