Canara Robeco Mid Cap Fund
Direct · GrowthAI Summary
Canara Robeco Mid Cap Fund has delivered a 1Y SIP XIRR of 22.42%, marginally ahead of the category average of 21.6%, but its 3Y XIRR of 14.19% trails the category average of 19.93% by a wide margin. On a lump-sum basis, the fund has beaten the NIFTY MIDCAP 150 over 3Y (19.46% vs 18.08% CAGR) and 5Y (14.43% vs 13.92%), with positive alpha of 2.38% and 1.33% respectively. However, over very long horizons (10Y and beyond), alpha shrinks to near zero or turns negative, indicating benchmark outperformance has been concentrated in recent periods.
The fund exhibits a defensive risk profile for a mid-cap offering, with beta below 1 across all periods (0.89-0.96) and downside capture consistently below upside capture — for example, 3Y downside capture of 90.0% versus upside capture of 92.62%. Calmar ratios of 1.07 (1Y) and 0.98 (3Y) indicate reasonable risk-adjusted returns relative to drawdowns. The maximum drawdown lasted 157 days with a 173-day recovery, and only 2 drawdown events exceeded 10%, suggesting contained but not negligible downside.
Detailed holdings and sector allocation data were not provided in this dataset, so specific concentration analysis cannot be made. The fund's sub-1 beta and below-100% capture ratios suggest a portfolio that is somewhat less aggressive than the NIFTY MIDCAP 150 benchmark. Investors should review the latest factsheet for top holdings and sector weights before investing.
The fund's 1Y SIP XIRR of 22.42% places it slightly above the category average of 21.6%, but its 3Y XIRR of 14.19% is significantly below the category average of 19.93%, indicating recent SIP-based underperformance versus peers. Calendar year returns show strong consistency in good years (33.57% in 2023, 29.18% in 2024) but muted results in weak years (-1.0% in 2022, 5.55% in 2025). This pattern aligns with its lower-beta, capital-protection-oriented style within the mid-cap category.
This fund suits investors seeking mid-cap exposure with a relatively defensive tilt, given its below-1 beta and downside capture consistently under 91%. A time horizon of at least 5-7 years is appropriate, as mid-cap returns are cyclical and the fund's long-term alpha is modest. It is suitable for investors with moderate-to-high risk tolerance who want mid-cap growth potential with somewhat softer drawdowns than the benchmark.
- Consistent benchmark outperformance over 3Y and 5Y with positive alpha of 2.38% and 1.33% respectively
- Defensive downside behavior: downside capture of 86.5-90% across periods, below its upside capture, cushioning losses in weak markets
- Low expense ratio of 0.65% for a mid-cap fund, and 1Y SIP XIRR of 22.42% ahead of the category average of 21.6%
- 3Y SIP XIRR of 14.19% lags the category average of 19.93% by nearly 6 percentage points, signaling recent underperformance versus peers on the primary investor metric
- Alpha fades over longer horizons, turning negative at 15Y (-0.07%), so long-term lump-sum outperformance versus the benchmark is not established

Gives more importance to longer time periods (10Y, 20Y) than shorter ones (1Y, 3Y). This balances out recent outperformance and gives a more realistic picture of what long-term returns might look like.
