Kotak Multi Cap Fund Direct Growth recorded a NAV of ₹21.00 on 5 October 2026, gaining 0.63% over the valuation day. Multi-cap schemes maintain exposure across large-, mid- and small-cap companies under the category's allocation framework, giving the portfolio a wider mandated spread across company sizes. 

The one-year return stood at 1.66%. The three-year CAGR was considerably higher at 15.95%, while the five-year annualised return was almost identical at 15.93%. The two longer-period figures were separated by only 0.02 percentage points at the displayed precision. Both remained more than 14 percentage points above the latest one-year return. 

Fund size stood at approximately ₹30,529 crore. The Direct Growth expense ratio was 0.7013%. Both minimum SIP and minimum lump-sum investments were ₹100. The latest profile showed a fund age of around five years. 

HDFC Bank accounted for 5.30% of the disclosed portfolio, followed by Maruti Suzuki at 4.57%, Oracle Financial Services Software at 4.05%, SBI at 3.89% and Hero MotoCorp at 3.36%. Together, these five holdings represented 21.17%. 

Historical beta stood at 1.04 and the Sharpe ratio at 0.76. The near-identical three- and five-year return figures apply to the latest historical snapshot and do not imply that both periods will continue producing similar outcomes. The scheme's multi-cap structure also means its portfolio should be viewed across its wider market-cap allocation.
