HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund Direct Growth recorded a NAV of ₹556.55 on 24 September 2026, with a 1-day move of -1.13%. Because this is a balanced advantage fund, the NAV should be read in the context of a strategy that can dynamically alter equity and debt exposure rather than maintain a fixed equity stance throughout market cycles.
The return profile shows a visible gap between shorter and longer periods. The latest one-year return was -1.23%, whereas the three-year CAGR stood at 10.93% and the five-year annualised return improved further to 14.08%. That spread suggests a less favourable recent period than the longer record. The scheme also had a long 13-year operating history.
Its scale remains striking. The fund size was approximately ₹107,296 crore, which puts it among the largest funds in the batch. The Direct Growth expense ratio stood at 0.77%, and the minimum investment thresholds were low at ₹100 each for SIPs and lump-sum purchases.
Among disclosed holdings, ICICI Bank accounted for 5.32%, HDFC Bank for 4.13%, Reliance Industries for 3.74%, SBI for 3.46% and Bharti Airtel for 2.93%.
