Summary

The biggest development is the fact that Canara Robeco Small Cap is now in the tenth position, replacing Aditya Birla Sun Life Small Cap. The stellar performance in the last year might have had something to do with it.

Happily enough, all funds have outperformed the benchmark and some handsomely so, especially in the 1-year performance.

Kotak Small Cap has a big 10 bps increase in expense ratio, to settle in at 0.51{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}.
