Weights come from each fund’s most recent disclosed portfolio, which SEBI requires monthly — positions can have changed since. “Position” is the weight applied to the scheme’s AUM, available for 215 of the 218 holders. Nothing here is advice, and a stock being widely held is not an argument for owning it.

Frequently asked questions

Which mutual fund holds the most Canara Bank?

By rupee value, Nippon India ETF Nifty PSU Bank BeES from Nippon India — ₹474.28Cr, at 11.7% of that scheme's portfolio. Weights come from each fund's most recent disclosed portfolio; SEBI requires monthly disclosure, so a fund that has traded since its last filing may hold more or less than this.

Which fund has the highest weight in Canara Bank?

SBI BSE PSU Bank ETF carries the largest weight at 13.3% of its portfolio. That is a different question from the largest rupee position — a small fund can hold a much bigger share of itself in one stock than a large fund does.

How many mutual funds hold Canara Bank?

218 schemes, holding ₹7,341Cr between them across the 215 whose AUM is on record. One row per scheme: a fund's Direct and Regular plans hold the same portfolio, so the Direct plan stands for both rather than counting twice.

Does a fund holding Canara Bank make it a good investment?

No. This page reports what funds disclosed they own, not a view on the stock or on any scheme holding it. A widely held stock is a popular one, which is a fact about other people's positions rather than about future returns. Nothing here is investment advice.
