Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 3.85%, 13.53% and 11.32%, respectively, and the scheme is tagged as High Risk.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a flexi-cap fund for investors who can stay patient through uneven shorter-term performance. The portfolio is large-cap heavy, but the fund also keeps meaningful exposure to mid-caps and a small small-cap sleeve, so the outcome can still differ materially from the benchmark.<\/p>\n<div

recent pattern is mixed rather than smooth. The fund was positive across 1M, 3M and 1Y, but the 1Y figure is still modest at 3.85%, which tells us that the last year was not a strong compounding stretch even though it stayed ahead of the benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>The longer view is clearer. Over 3 years, the fund has held up better than the benchmark, and the 5-year return also stays ahead of the index. That suggests the fund has added value over a full market cycle even if the shorter horizon has been less impressive.<\/p>\n<p>The trajectory through the time series also points to a fund that can move through periods of weakness and recovery rather than delivering a straight line upward. That fits a flexi-cap portfolio with equity-market sensitivity and means investors should judge it by multi-year behaviour, not by a single quarter or year.<\/p>\n<p>Against the benchmark, the fund is ahead in every period shown. The gap is widest over 3 years, while the 1-year lead is much smaller because the fund\u2019s recent gains have been more restrained than its medium-term track record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 Aug 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-mf-premium-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;background:#f7faff\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_Canara_Rob_Flexi_Cap\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Canara Rob Flexi Cap?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A fund&#8217;s past returns alone don&#8217;t tell you whether you should buy it today or continue holding it.<\/p>\n<p>The right decision depends on factors such as your current allocation, purchase price, risk profile, investment horizon and the role this fund plays in your overall portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already holding Canara Rob Flexi Cap?

At 33.03%, it is well above the next sector, so the portfolio is clearly anchored around financials.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond banks, the exposure is spread across automobile, finance, IT and healthcare, which gives the portfolio some diversification across business cycles. The presence of mid-cap and small-cap assets can add variation to returns, but the large-cap base still acts as the main stabiliser.<\/p>\n<p>Because no single non-bank sector comes close to the bank allocation, the fund\u2019s sector profile is concentrated enough to matter but not so narrow that it depends on only one holding. For investors, that means the broad style is diversified equity exposure, yet bank stocks are likely to shape short- and medium-term performance more than any other sleeve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 Aug 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_invest\"><\/span>Who should invest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This fund suits investors who are comfortable with High Risk equity exposure and who can stay invested for several years.

It stays ahead of the benchmark across the periods shown, yet several peer funds have been faster over the last year. The portfolio is anchored by large caps and has a clear bank tilt, so it is best viewed as an equity fund for patient investors who can accept shorter stretches of uneven performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 31 August 2026 at 1:59 PM IST<\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-login-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;background:#eef5ff;border:1px solid #cddff7;text-align:center\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_mutual_funds_with_Univest\"><\/span>Explore mutual funds with Univest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Review mutual fund data, compare performance and explore fund insights on Univest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"display:inline-block;padding:11px 20px;border-radius:6px;background:#1f4e79;color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none;font-weight:700\">Explore Univest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"univest-disclaimer\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RIA_disclosure\"><\/span>RIA disclosure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks.
