HDFC Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth recorded a NAV of ₹2,169.07 on 30 September 2026, declining 0.17% over the day. The scheme's flexi cap classification allows it to allocate across companies of different market capitalisations, rather than restricting the portfolio to a single segment. Its market-cap composition can consequently change as individual stock weights and portfolio decisions evolve.

The one-year return stood at -1.08%. The longer periods remained positive, with a three-year CAGR of 14.54% and a five-year annualised return of 15.67%. The five-year figure was 1.13 percentage points above the three-year return. It also differed substantially from the latest one-year result, illustrating how trailing-return readings depend on the starting and ending dates used for each measurement window.

The fund managed approximately ₹113,606 crore. Its Direct Growth expense ratio stood at 0.77%, while the minimum SIP and minimum lump-sum investment were both ₹100. The scheme had an operating history of 13 years in the latest fund profile. This combination of a large asset base and relatively low investment minimums defines part of the fund's current numerical profile.

ICICI Bank accounted for 9.19% of the disclosed portfolio, making it the largest displayed position. Axis Bank followed at 6.19%, HDFC Bank at 5.71%, SBI at 4.16% and Eternal at 3.39%.
