Data as on: 30th November, 2022

Summary

This has been one of the few months with no change in AUM rankings.

In terms of expense ratio, Aditya Birla has reduced it by 6 basis points (now at 1.13{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}) while Canata Robeco has a marginal increase of 3 basis points to still remain at a very fair 0.42{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}.

SBI has trimmed it’s portfolio by four holdings (now at 49) while Nippon has added three to it’s fold (for a portfolio of 59).

This month’s report card is quite shoddy with only HDFC beating the benchmark. In the one year return though, it is joined by ICICI and Nippon in the green.
