Summary
There is no change in AUM ranking and neither have expense ratios changed noticeably.
However, Nippon continues to make waves with it’s long number of stocks. This month their tally has increased by seven to land up at 159.
As for the performance, this month Canara Robeco is joined by seven other funds (barring only Franklin and ICICI) in the red for the October performance. The 1-year returns yet again remain spotlessly green, championing the cause of active funds for the category.
