Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AUM rankings remain consistent again this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nippon has slashed it\u2019s expense ratio massively by about 25{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}, to go down from 1.20{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} to 0.89{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}. Mirae has also made a cut, much more subtle of 7 basis points, to take it down a notch to 0.57{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of number of stocks also, the funds have been fairly stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of performance, this category too is completely in the red for August. In the one year performance, HDFC, Kotak and SBI are the only ones to go beyond the benchmark. DSP remains the only fund to have a negative return for the one-year period.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market Cap Allocation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are no major market cap allocation shifts to talk about this month. Most funds have a minimal 1-2{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} shuffle within the categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this category too, Axis remains the only fund at a sub-90{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} equity exposure level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sector Ranking Colour Code<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Axis, almost all Software stocks have seen a reduction in exposure, either due to a fall in price or as part of a conscious decision. Hence, Software as a sector sees a lowered allocation from 10.19{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} to 8.52{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nippon sees not one, but two organic swaps. Leisure Services and Pharma are replaced by Consumer Durables and Retailing. Basically, all four sectors continue to hover around the 5{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}+ range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an organic swap between Ancilliaries and Pharma in the Sundaram fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organic swap continues trend continues in UTI where Software has edged out Banks for the fifth highest sectoral allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
