HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund Direct Growth recorded a NAV of ₹548.7140 on 13 October 2026, advancing 0.91% over the valuation day. The exact-date value was established through the permitted Direct Plan fallback after the refreshed 5paisa primary card continued to display the preceding valuation date. The exact-date fund card showed a three-year annualised return of 10.01%.

This is a Balanced Advantage Fund, also classified as a Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund, and it should not be described as a pure-equity portfolio. Its strategy combines equity and fixed-income securities and allows the proportions to change according to the portfolio's dynamic asset-allocation framework. The scheme's stated strategy seeks long-term capital appreciation or income through a dynamic mix of equity and debt investments.

The supporting fund snapshot listed assets of ₹1,02,534 crore as of 30 September 2026 and a base expense ratio of 0.64%. Minimum investment and minimum SIP amounts were both ₹100. The scheme was classified as Very High risk on the displayed riskometer. These supporting figures have their own reporting dates and are not being presented as measurements specifically dated 13 October.

The latest 5paisa portfolio display included ICICI Bank at 5.06%, HDFC Bank at 4.32%, Reliance Industries at 3.64%, State Bank of India at 3.28% and Bharti Airtel at 3.05% among its major disclosed equity positions. Those equity holdings represent only part of the overall hybrid portfolio; the strategy also carries debt and fixed-income exposure. That distinction is central to interpreting a balanced-advantage scheme because its risk and return profile reflects both asset classes rather than equity holdings alone.
