A 0.50% daily decline took HDFC Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth’s NAV to ₹2,168.23 on 7 October 2026. The verified primary card paired that amount with the requested valuation date. The absolute NAV describes the value of one unit; its level alone does not establish whether the portfolio is expensive or inexpensive relative to another fund.

The disclosed holdings included ICICI Bank at 9.19%, Axis Bank at 6.19%, HDFC Bank at 5.71%, State Bank of India at 4.16% and Eternal at 3.39%. Adding those five weights gives a concentration of 28.64%. The four named bank positions together represented 25.25%, making banks a substantial component of this particular group of holdings.

Those calculations describe the entries shown, rather than a complete sector breakdown. Other banking positions, if any, are outside this calculation. Similarly, the remaining portfolio cannot be classified solely from the five largest holdings. A large disclosed position is also not proof that it drove the daily change in the fund’s unit value.

The historical return table showed -2.78% over one year. Three- and five-year annualised returns were 14.70% and 15.40%, respectively. The five-year CAGR was 0.70 percentage points higher than the three-year CAGR. Positive longer-period annualised figures can coexist with a negative recent annual return because the measurement windows cover different market conditions and entry points.

Fund size stood at ₹113,606 crore in the latest snapshot. The Direct Growth expense ratio was 0.77%, and both minimum SIP and lump-sum amounts were ₹100. Fund size is a portfolio-level measure, whereas NAV is expressed per unit; the two numbers serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.

The portfolio’s flexi-cap classification allows exposure across company sizes. The disclosed holdings and operating figures are presented as the available snapshot, without assuming that every portfolio weight was independently measured on 7 October.
