Almost 98.85% of the funds are invested in equities with a low or negligible holdings in cash. The company has a significant holdings in the likes of L&T, State Bank of India and Reliance Industries. This fund is good for those looking to save taxes as well as invest for returns. However, we suggest limiting your exposure given the way equities have rallied in the last few quarters.

SIP and other details of Canara Robeco Bluechip Equity Fund

Investors planning to put money through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) can do so with a minimum sum of Rs 1,000 every month. The fund has generated a very good returns in the past, but, that does not guarantee solid returns in the future.

We believe returns are unlikely to be extraordinary as in the past. Therefore, investors from here on, have to hope for some moderation in returns. In fact, we suggest that investors should only consider SIP investment and avoid large scale lump sum investments, especially in pure equity oriented mutual funds.
