CANARA ROBECO LARGE AND MID CAP FUND - DIRECT PLAN - IDCW (Payout/Reinvestment)

CANARA ROBECO LARGE AND MID CAP FUND - DIRECT PLAN - IDCW (Payout/Reinvestment) sits in the middle of the pack for Large & Mid Cap Fund funds, currently carrying a 2-star rating. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 62/100.

Cost: At 0.79%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 31% below the Large & Mid Cap Fund category average of 1.15% (based on 32 comparable funds). Lower costs compound in your favour over long holding periods.

Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a negative Sharpe ratio of -0.68 — over the past year, returns haven't kept pace with the volatility involved, even before accounting for the risk-free rate. Separately, annualised volatility of 15.77% is fairly typical for actively managed equity funds.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors with a 5+ year horizon comfortable with meaningfully higher volatility than large cap funds. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
