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

In terms of AUM ranking, SBI has edged ahead of Mirae for the number two spot. The tussle between Aditya Birla and HDFC continues with the latter taking the lead this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the pricey funds (with more than 1.00{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} expense ratio in Direct plans) have trimmed on their costs. Nippon has reduced it\u2019s total expense ratio by 8 basis points to land at the round figure of 1.00{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} while Franklin India has trimmed it by 6 basis points to settle in at 1.11{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s not much of a movement in the number of stocks, with the total numbers being one or two here and there from last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The August performance though is a full red scorecard with none of the funds having beaten the benchmark. Four funds \u2013 SBI, ICICI, HDFC and Nippon \u2013 are in the green for one-year performance with only Axis showing a negative trend (in absolute terms) for the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

There is just one development worth mentioning. HDFC has exited it\u2019s sole Small cap allocation of 0.59{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} from CESC to now hold only Large and Mid Cap stocks in the fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axis, yet again, remains the only fund with a sub-90{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} equity exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also results in the sectoral allocation of Finance going up from 6.42{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} to 9.11{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} although it still remains third highest in the sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balancing out the big increase in the HDFC Limited position is a trim of similar magnitude in HDFC Bank which sees a reduction of 2.79{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} to bring it down to 3.96{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}.
