Personally, I find these many changes in a fund in one month truly disconcerting. Almost makes me feel like the fund management doesn\u2019t have faith in it\u2019s own choices.

Two funds have also increased their expense ratio \u2013 ICICI by 5 bps to reach 0.40{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} while Aditya Birla has taken a bigger increase of 12 bps to breach the 1{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} mark and settle in at 1.03{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}. Motilal Oswal has also used it\u2019s trimming scissors to take the number of stocks from 29 to 25, making it an even more concentrated bet. September turned out to be a month of unilaterally beating the benchmark, although that number drops to 50{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} funds in case of the 1-year performance. Market Cap Allocation Parag Parikh shows a reduced allocation to Foreign Equity by almost 2{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} to go below the 20{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} mark.

While ICICI has redistributed it within Small and Mid cap, Motilal Oswal has mostly kept it to the latter. Top 5 Sectors There are very few changes in the sectoral allocation yet again. In Franklin, Telecom and Cement continue to organically keep playing for a place in the top 5 sectors with the former finding a spot this month. Motilal Oswal has heftily raised the allocation of Bajaj Finance from 2.70{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} to 7.40{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}, which shows in Finance allocation moving up from 8.98{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} to 13.14{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}.

If you thought all the changes mentioned above seemed small and inconsequential, then you have come to the right fund. Motilal Oswal seems to have been in full turbo mode last month. Apart from the big increase in Bajaj Finance mentioned in the sectoral analysis, they have also raised their position in Ambuja Cements (by 3.99{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}), Bajaj Finserv (by 2.69{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}) and Tube Investments (by 1.37{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}). However, it is the list of hefty exits that is truly astounding \u2013 Reliance (5.21{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}), Ultratech Cement (3.17{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}), ICICI Lombard (1.36{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}) and Voltas (0.29{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}). Personally, I find these many changes in a fund in one month truly disconcerting. Almost makes me feel like the fund management doesn\u2019t have faith in it\u2019s own choices. For some investors though, this also signals more of a nimble fund. The jury of course remains out.
