HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund Direct Growth recorded a NAV of ₹542.11 on 26 October 2026, with the refreshed 5paisa primary card showing a 0.49% daily increase. The scheme is classified as a Hybrid Dynamic Asset Allocation or Balanced Advantage Fund rather than a pure-equity scheme. Its strategy can combine equity exposure with debt, fixed-income and related portfolio components as asset allocation changes over time.

The latest historical return figures stood at -5.37% over one year, 10.64% annualised over three years and 12.36% annualised over five years. Each figure represents a separate measurement period and should not be interpreted as a forecast of future returns.

The scheme had a fund size of approximately ₹102,534 crore. The Direct Growth expense ratio was 0.78%, while both the minimum SIP and minimum lump-sum investments were ₹100. These operating figures provide additional context to the fund's sizeable hybrid portfolio.

Within the displayed holdings, ICICI Bank accounted for 5.06%, HDFC Bank for 4.32%, Reliance Industries for 3.64%, State Bank of India for 3.28% and Bharti Airtel for 3.05%. These listed equity positions represent only part of a broader hybrid portfolio; they should not be taken to mean that the scheme is an all-equity strategy.

The page also showed alpha of 5.89, standard deviation of 3.13, beta of 0.71 and a Sharpe ratio of 0.48. Historical risk statistics describe past behaviour and should be read separately from future asset-allocation decisions.
