HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund Direct Growth recorded a NAV of ₹542.73 on 28 October 2026, with the primary NAV card showing a 0.07% decline for the day. The scheme is classified as a Balanced Advantage Fund or Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund. It is therefore a hybrid strategy rather than a pure-equity fund and can combine equity, debt or fixed-income exposure and cash-related positions.

The five displayed equity holdings together accounted for 19.35% of the overall portfolio.

Risk statistics shown on the page included an alpha of 5.89, standard deviation of 3.13, beta of 0.71 and Sharpe ratio of 0.48. These historical measures reflect portfolio behaviour over specified periods and should not be interpreted as forecasts.

Because the strategy actively combines asset classes, its NAV movement can reflect changes across both equity and fixed-income holdings. Its equity holdings therefore represent only part of the scheme's total asset mix.
