Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 5.92%, 20.71% and 19.72% respectively, and it sits in the High Risk category. Our view is that this is a sector-tilted equity fund for investors who can tolerate sharp swings and want exposure to infrastructure-led ideas, with performance that has been stronger over longer horizons than in the most recent year.<\/p>\n<p>The fund\u2019s behaviour has been mixed versus its benchmark, but the 3-year and 5-year records remain meaningfully ahead of the benchmark\u2019s returns. The portfolio is led by large industrial, power, banking and telecom names, so the return pattern is tied to cyclical exposure rather than broad market balance.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

performance has been softer than the longer-term trend. The 1-month return is negative and the 3-month return is also slightly negative, which tells us the fund has faced a short spell of pressure even though its 1-year return is still positive. That pattern matters because the benchmark has also been uneven over the short run, but the fund has not moved in a straight line.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1 year, the fund has outpaced the benchmark by a clear margin, with 5.92% against -4.40%. That is a useful sign that the portfolio has handled the latest 12-month stretch better than the benchmark, even if the path was choppy. The fund has therefore shown resilience over the last year compared with the index, rather than simple steady gains.<\/p>\n<p>The longer record is stronger. At 3 years and 5 years, the fund\u2019s returns of 20.71% and 19.72% sit well above the benchmark\u2019s 5.74% and 6.27%. This tells us the strategy has rewarded investors over a full cycle more than the benchmark has. The recent weakness does not overturn that longer pattern, but it does remind us that returns can fluctuate materially from one shorter period to the next.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that the fund\u2019s return path suits investors who can stay invested through volatile stretches, because the longer-horizon compounding has been far better than the benchmark while the short-term behaviour has been less consistent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 03 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_Infrastructure\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Canara Rob Infrastructure?<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 Infrastructure?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639. On the available 1-year figures, the fund trails the strongest peer returns by a wide margin, but its 3-year return is competitive with the better medium-term numbers in this group. The 5-year record is also solid relative to the peers with available long-term data, which makes the comparison more balanced than the short-term view alone suggests.<\/p>\n<p>The key difference is between the recent and longer-term story. Some peers have delivered much stronger 1-year numbers, yet the fund\u2019s 3-year and 5-year outcomes still show that its strategy has worked over time. That makes the comparison less about one bad or good year and more about whether an investor values steadier long-term compounding over a sharp recent surge elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 03 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>Larsen &amp; Toubro Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Infrastructure<\/td>\n<td>9.64%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharti Airtel Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Telecom<\/td>\n<td>5.16%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Industries Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Crude Oil<\/td>\n<td>5.07%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TREPS<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>4.44%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>State Bank of India<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>4.43%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CG Power and Industrial Solutions Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Capital Goods<\/td>\n<td>4.09%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharat Electronics Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Capital Goods<\/td>\n<td>4.03%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NTPC Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>3.74%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Interglobe Aviation Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Aviation<\/td>\n<td>3.66%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tata Power Co Ltd<\/td>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>3.35%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 47.61% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/canara-rob-infrastructure-fund-g-direct-plan\">Canara Rob Infrastructure Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest holding, Larsen &amp; Toubro Ltd, carries a weight of 9.64%, so it is the single most influential stock in the displayed list. After that, the weights step down fairly quickly into the 5% area, which suggests that no single holding dominates the visible basket by itself.<\/p>\n<p>The spread from the first to the tenth holding is noticeable: the list moves from 9.64% to 3.35%. That tells us the fund may still be influenced most by a few large positions, but the rest of the top names also matter enough to shape returns. The presence of cash equivalents in the top 10 also adds a stabilising element, even though the fund remains equity-oriented.<\/p>\n<p>With 47.61% of the portfolio in the top 10 holdings and 43 disclosed holdings in total, the fund looks moderately concentrated rather than broadly diluted. Our view is that this structure may allow the managers to express stronger sector views, but it also means stock-specific moves in the biggest positions could have a meaningful effect on outcomes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 03 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 suits investors who can accept High Risk and tolerate short-term volatility in exchange for a portfolio that has shown stronger longer-term results than its benchmark. The 1-year return is positive but modest, while the 3-year and 5-year figures are much stronger, so the holding period matters a great deal here.<\/p>\n<p>It is better suited to a longer horizon than a short tactical allocation. Investors who are comfortable with cyclical sector exposure and can handle periods when returns lag the broader market may find the fund more relevant than those seeking smoother year-to-year outcomes. The main trade-off is the possibility of uneven near-term performance in return for stronger compounding over a full cycle.<\/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% on or before 1Y, Nil after 1Y.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 03 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 Infrastructure Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The current NAV is \u20b9191.21 as of 03 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<\/strong><br \/>The fund\u2019s returns are 5.92% over 1 year, 20.71% over 3 years and 19.72% over 5 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the fund compare with Nifty 50?<\/strong><br \/>It is ahead of Nifty 50 over 1 year, 3 years and 5 years.
