HDFC Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth closed 8 September 2026 at an NAV of ₹2,260.525. The day's movement was negative, with the NAV down 0.31%. The more precise 5paisa listing carries the value to three decimal places, so that figure is retained rather than rounding it to the two-decimal display found elsewhere on the platform.

Performance varied across the three available periods. The one-year return was 3.28%, while the three-year annualised figure was 15.67%. Over five years, the annualised return rose to 17.72%. That puts the five-year number 2.05 percentage points above the three-year return and 14.44 points above the one-year figure.

The largest disclosed position was ICICI Bank at 9.19%. Axis Bank accounted for another 6.19%, followed by HDFC Bank at 5.71%, SBI at 4.16% and Eternal at 3.39%. These five holdings added up to 28.64%. ICICI Bank and Axis Bank alone contributed 15.38%, giving the two largest positions more than half of the top-five concentration.

Fund size was ₹110,736 crore. The Direct Growth expense ratio was 0.77%, and both the minimum SIP and minimum lump-sum investment were ₹100. The disclosed exit-load structure charges 1% for redemption within one year and no exit load thereafter.

Risk figures were led by an alpha of 5.62. Beta stood at 0.81, standard deviation at 3.72 and the Sharpe ratio at 0.93. Those statistics sit alongside the return history rather than replacing it: the 8 September data show a modest daily decline, a relatively low single-digit one-year return and materially higher annualised figures over three and five years.
