Summary
There is no change in AUM rankings this month.
Two funds have a slightly noticeable reduction in expense ratio – HDFC Large & Mid Cap by 4 basis points to go down to 1.14{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} and Sundaram by 3 basis points landing down at 0.70{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}.
Aditya Birla has reduced it’s number of stocks by 3 to come down to 61 but no other noteworthy development for the other funds.
Here too, it’s a red dominated report card with only three funds (Mirae, HDFC and DSP) managing to beat the benchmark in November 2022. In the one year performance, only HDFC maintains this distinction over the benchmark and is joined by three other different funds (Kotak, SBI and ICICI).
Market Cap Allocation
None of the funds have a substantial enough change of more than 2{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} in any market cap category that could warrant a mention.
However, within the four market cap categories (including small and foreign equity), Axis sees it’s total equity exposure go up by 2.62{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} up to 99.81{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} with very little cash on the portfolio.
Top 5 Sectors
In Canara Robeco, the ping pong between Pharma and Chemicals continues with the latter making up the Top 5 Sectors this month.
Kotak has more than doubled it’s allocation in Hero Motocorp taking it up to 1.10{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} leading to Auto sector dethroning Construction from the Top 5 Sectors.

Resultantly, Auto Ancilliaries has been replaced by Consumer Non-Durables in the Top 5 Sectors.
