Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 0.73%, 11.79% and 9.86%, respectively, and the scheme sits in the High Risk bucket. Our view is that it suits investors who can accept meaningful equity volatility and want a flexi-cap fund with a large portfolio base, but it has recently been uneven and has not matched its benchmark over the shorter periods.<\/p>\n<p>The fund\u2019s portfolio is led by banks, telecom, infrastructure, IT and large financial names, which gives it a diversified large-cap tilt within the flexi-cap structure. That mix can help stability over full cycles, but it also means recent return swings matter for investors who need smoother short-term outcomes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

performance has been mixed rather than smooth. Over 1 month, the fund fell, but it still did better than the benchmark\u2019s decline. Over 3 months, it recovered more strongly than the benchmark and showed a clearer upward bias than the index. That pattern tells us the fund can participate in rebounds, but it does not eliminate near-term drawdowns.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year return is still modest, yet it stayed ahead of the benchmark because the index was weaker over the same stretch. The more useful story appears in the 3-year and 5-year numbers, where the fund stayed above the benchmark on a compound basis. That gap suggests the strategy has created more value than the index over longer holding periods, even though the journey has not been steady.<\/p>\n<p>The longer-term path also shows periods of pressure followed by recovery, which is consistent with an equity fund that can move through sharp phases. For investors, the main takeaway is that the fund has delivered a better long-run outcome than the benchmark in the available periods, but the short-term path can still be choppy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 08 Sep 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?

On 1-year performance, the fund trails all the peer funds shown here, which indicates that the recent stretch has been softer than the group\u2019s stronger names. The longer-term picture is more balanced: the fund\u2019s 3-year and 5-year returns are ahead of Navi Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan, but behind the better-performing peers with available 3-year and 5-year figures. That split tells us the fund\u2019s recent weakness is not fully reflected in its longer-term record, but the longer horizon still leaves room for improvement versus several peers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 08 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<div class=\"univest-peer-login-cta\" style=\"margin:20px 0;padding:16px 18px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;border-radius:8px;background:#f7faff\">\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><strong>Want to know more?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"font-weight:700;text-decoration:none\">Log in to Univest<\/a> for more mutual fund insights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portfolio_where_your_money_goes\"><\/span>Portfolio: where your money goes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding<\/th>\n<th>Sector<\/th>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>6.75%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Bank Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>6.42%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharti Airtel Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Telecom<\/td>\n<td>3.82%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TREPS<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>3.63%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Industries Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>3.55%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bajaj Finance Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Finance<\/td>\n<td>3.32%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>State Bank of India<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>3.22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Larsen &amp; Toubro Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Infrastructure<\/td>\n<td>3.06%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infosys Ltd<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>2.87%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eternal Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Retailing<\/td>\n<td>2.66%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 39.3% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/canara-rob-flexi-cap-fund-g-direct-plan\">Canara Rob Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest holding, ICICI Bank Ltd, is 6.75% of the portfolio, so no single stock dominates the visible list. The decline from the first holding to the tenth is gradual rather than abrupt, moving from the mid-6% area into the mid-2% range. That pattern suggests the portfolio is built around a set of meaningful positions rather than one or two outsized bets.<\/p>\n<p>The mix may still be influenced more by a few large positions because the top 10 together make up 39.3% of the portfolio, while the fund discloses 63 holdings in total. That leaves a long tail of additional positions, which could help diversify stock-specific risk, but the leading names are still likely to have greater influence on short-term returns. The presence of banks at the top also shows that financials remain a core part of the visible exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the allocation looks moderately spread across the visible leaders rather than highly concentrated in a single stock. For investors, that means the fund may offer a blend of broad equity participation and active stock selection, without relying on an extremely narrow set of holdings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 08 Sep 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 fits investors with a high tolerance for equity risk and a long enough horizon to absorb stretches of weak or uneven performance. Its 3-year and 5-year numbers are better than the benchmark, but the 1-year result is muted, so patience matters more than a quick outcome. The portfolio\u2019s large, diversified core may appeal to investors who want flexi-cap exposure without a very narrow stock basket.<\/p>\n<p>The main trade-off is between the fund\u2019s better longer-term compounding and its still-visible short-term volatility. Investors who need smoother one-year outcomes may find the recent path uncomfortable, while those who can stay invested through cycles may focus more on the stronger 3-year and 5-year record. In our view, the fund is best considered for a multi-year equity allocation rather than a short-term parking option.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_and_exit_load\"><\/span>Tax and exit load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding period<\/th>\n<th>Tax rate<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held less than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>Short-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held more than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>12.5%<\/td>\n<td>Long-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Exit load:<\/strong> 1% if units are sold on or before 1 year; nil after 1 year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 08 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>What is the current NAV of Canara Rob Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>Its NAV is \u20b9387.75 as of 08 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>The returns are 0.73% for 1 year, 11.79% for 3 years and 9.86% for 5 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the fund compare with the benchmark?<\/strong><br \/>It is ahead of the Nifty 50 in the available 1-month, 3-month, 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods.
