Historical risk metrics included alpha of 6.86, standard deviation of 5.08, beta of 0.96 and a Sharpe ratio of 0.34. These measures describe historical risk and return characteristics rather than establishing a future performance pattern.

TREPS represented 10.03% of the latest disclosed portfolio and was the largest overall displayed allocation. TREPS is a short-term liquidity exposure rather than a listed equity security.

Among equities, Firstsource Solutions was the largest disclosed holding at 3.68%. Aster DM Quality Care represented 3.37%, Gabriel India 3.09% and eClerx Services 2.92%. The five largest disclosed entries, including TREPS, accounted for 23.09%.

The distinction between TREPS and listed shares is important when reading concentration figures because including a large liquidity allocation materially changes the combined weight of the largest entries.

As a small-cap fund, the scheme remains primarily associated with smaller listed companies, although portfolio disclosures can also contain liquidity and other non-equity positions. NAV movements, AUM, holdings and risk statistics can change as markets and the underlying portfolio evolve.

Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.
