HDFC Small Cap Fund Direct Growth recorded an exact NAV of ₹152.1690 on 6 November 2026, with the permitted Value Research Direct Plan card showing a 0.79% decline for the valuation day.

The current fund card showed a three-year return of 9.08%, while the latest fund details placed assets under management at approximately ₹40,801 crore. The base expense ratio was displayed at 0.65%, with minimum SIP and lump-sum investment amounts of ₹100 each.

As a small-cap scheme, HDFC Small Cap Fund primarily seeks equity exposure to companies in the small-cap segment, although portfolio composition can also include cash or liquidity-related positions. The valuation of the underlying companies feeds into the scheme's daily NAV along with any other portfolio assets and liabilities.

The one-day decline to ₹152.1690 should be read as a valuation-date observation rather than as a measure of the scheme's longer-term performance. AUM, historical returns and portfolio concentration provide broader context, but each represents a different aspect of the fund.

The exact-date NAV has been sourced from the permitted fallback because it explicitly pairs the amount with 6 November 2026, satisfying the date-and-value verification requirement.
