HDFC Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth ended the 8 October 2026 valuation day with a NAV of ₹2,128.25. The verified primary display recorded a decline of 1.84% for the day. The figure relates specifically to the Direct Growth option and should not be substituted for another plan or distribution option.

The longer-term performance record showed a different pattern from the daily decline. The one-year return was -4.25%, but the three-year CAGR remained positive at 13.97%. Five-year annualised performance stood at 14.93%, exceeding the three-year measure by 0.96 percentage points. A negative one-year return and positive longer-period CAGRs can coexist because the calculations begin from different valuation points.

The displayed holdings showed substantial representation from banks. ICICI Bank accounted for 9.19%, Axis Bank for 6.19%, and HDFC Bank for 5.71%. State Bank of India represented 4.16%, followed by Eternal at 3.39%. These five positions added up to 28.64% of the portfolio.

The four banks among those entries together represented 25.25%. This is a calculation across the displayed banking positions, rather than a claim about the scheme’s complete banking-sector allocation. Additional bank holdings may exist outside the visible list, and holding weights alone do not measure their contribution to the valuation-day change.

HDFC Flexi Cap is an equity scheme whose stated objective involves capital appreciation or income from a portfolio predominantly invested in equity and equity-related instruments. The visible positions form only a partial description of that wider portfolio.

The latest snapshot listed fund size at ₹113,606 crore and the Direct Growth expense ratio at 0.77%. Minimum SIP and lump-sum amounts were ₹100 each. These details provide scale and cost context, but their display does not establish that every supporting field was measured on 8 October.

The reported NAV is the value of one unit. Its absolute level cannot be used to compare valuation attractiveness with other mutual funds, whose unit histories differ.
