Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 3.64%, 14.39% and 12.45%, respectively, and the scheme sits in the High Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a growth-oriented large-and-mid-cap fund with a meaningful mid-cap tilt and a diversified stock mix across banking, retailing and automobile names. The recent 1-year result has been modest, but the longer track record is steadier, which makes the fund more relevant for investors who can accept equity volatility and are looking at a multi-year horizon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p

most recent stretch has been softer than the 3-year and 5-year history, but it is still better than the benchmark across every period shown. The 1-month and 3-month patterns point to a fund that has held up reasonably well over the short run, although not with the same strength as its medium-term record.<\/p>\n<p>Over 3 years, the fund has compounded at 14.39%, which is clearly above the benchmark\u2019s 6.40%. The 5-year figure of 12.45% also stays ahead of the benchmark\u2019s 7.13%, so the longer pattern remains constructive even after the weaker 1-year outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The time pattern suggests that the fund has not moved in a straight line. It has gone through periods of recovery and pullback, which is normal for a high-risk equity scheme, but the longer horizon has still rewarded patient investors better than the benchmark. That matters because short-term softness does not change the broader compounding picture.<\/p>\n<p>In our view, the main takeaway is that recent momentum is modest, while the longer record is healthier. For investors who focus on a full market cycle rather than one-year noise, the 3-year and 5-year numbers carry more weight than the latest stretch.<\/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_Large_and_Mid_Cap\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Canara Rob Large and Mid 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 Large and Mid Cap?

The gap narrows on longer horizons, but the fund still sits below the better 3-year and 5-year peer figures available here.<\/p>\n<p>That creates a split picture: the fund looks less compelling on recent performance, yet its mid-term and long-term returns remain positive and consistent enough to avoid a purely weak read. The peer comparison therefore suggests that it has participated in the category\u2019s gains, but not as forcefully as the strongest names in the group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 Aug 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<p>Market-cap distribution: large cap 53.04%, mid cap 34.70%, small cap 9.17%, other 3.10%.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Sector<\/th>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<th>Top holdings<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>BANK<\/td>\n<td>21.65%<\/td>\n<td>KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK LTD (8.20%), CITY UNION BANK LTD (6.32%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>AUTOMOBILE &amp; ANCILLARIES<\/td>\n<td>15.12%<\/td>\n<td>WABCO INDIA LTD (7.79%), TVS MOTOR CO LTD (1.99%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RETAILING<\/td>\n<td>14.25%<\/td>\n<td>TRENT LTD (12.02%), ETERNAL LTD (1.84%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>FINANCE<\/td>\n<td>7.00%<\/td>\n<td>MULTI COMMODITY EXCHANGE OF INDIA LTD (2.91%), BAJAJ FINANCE LTD (1.01%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HEALTHCARE<\/td>\n<td>6.79%<\/td>\n<td>DR.

With 53.04% in large caps and 34.70% in mid caps, the scheme is not purely a mid-cap bet, even though its benchmark is Nifty Mid Cap.<\/p>\n<p>Banking is the largest sector at 21.65%, and it is materially larger than the next sector weights in automobile and retailing. That means financials may have the greatest influence on near-term portfolio behaviour, especially because the banking bucket is supported by notable individual positions such as Kotak Mahindra Bank and City Union Bank.<\/p>\n<p>The retailing and automobile exposures also matter because they are both sizeable and carry meaningful single-stock weights. Overall, the portfolio looks diversified across five sectors, but it is still concentrated enough in a few business areas that sector leadership could influence outcomes more than in a broadly spread multi-sector fund.<\/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 can stay invested through uneven periods.
