SBI Contra Fund Direct Growth recorded a NAV of ₹419.90 for 9 November 2026, with a daily increase of 0.53%. The scheme's recent valuation-day gain came alongside a negative return over the preceding one-year measurement period.

The one-year historical return stood at -2.00%. Longer-term returns were positive, with a three-year CAGR of 11.79% and a five-year annualised return of 14.30%.

These figures represent distinct performance windows. A positive daily NAV movement does not reverse the meaning of a negative trailing annual return, and the two measurements should not be treated as interchangeable.

SBI Contra Fund follows a contrarian equity investment strategy, which generally involves identifying securities whose market valuations or business prospects may differ from prevailing market expectations. The strategy can result in portfolio characteristics that differ from a broad-market equity fund.

The disclosed holding list showed TREPS as the largest overall allocation at 9.49%. As a short-term liquidity exposure, TREPS must be distinguished from the portfolio's stock holdings.

HDFC Bank represented the largest listed equity allocation at 5.36%, followed by ICICI Bank at 4.68%, Reliance Industries at 4.64% and Biocon at 3.17%.

Assets under management stood at ₹45,068 crore, with a Direct Growth expense ratio of 0.87%. The minimum SIP amount was ₹500, compared with ₹5,000 for a lump-sum transaction.

Published risk statistics included alpha of 4.83, beta of 0.95, standard deviation of 4.13 and a Sharpe ratio of 0.35.

The exit-load structure distinguished between redemptions within 30 days, between 30 and 90 days, and those occurring after 90 days. These disclosed terms are separate from NAV performance and historical returns.
