The scheme is classified as a flexi-cap equity fund, giving the portfolio flexibility to invest across market-cap segments. Its five-year annualised return stood at 10.31% as of 22 October. The latest available 5paisa snapshot showed a three-year CAGR of 12.37%, a fund size of ₹145,071 crore and a Direct Growth expense ratio of 0.69%.

Portfolio concentration remained spread across several large disclosed positions. HDFC Bank accounted for 7.75%, Power Grid for 5.60%, ITC for 5.49%, Coal India for 5.39% and ICICI Bank for 5.24%. Together, these five positions represented 29.47% of the disclosed portfolio. The mix shows exposure across banking, utilities, consumer-related businesses and energy rather than concentration in a single industry.

The NAV is the per-unit value of the scheme and should be read separately from historical return figures, which measure performance over defined periods. Similarly, AUM and expense-ratio figures are fund-level data points rather than indicators of future returns. The latest portfolio and cost data may be reported on a different reference date from the 22 October NAV and should be interpreted as the latest available fund snapshot.
