NAV, Returns & Performance 

TREPS represents short-term money-market liquidity exposure and must be distinguished from company shares. Its position in the displayed list does not make it the largest stock holding. The NAV reflects the valuation of the overall portfolio, including equity and other exposures, rather than the movement of any single disclosed entry. 

Other displayed equity positions included the holding labelled Aster DM Quality at 3.56%, Gabriel India at 3.25% and eClerx Services at 3.09%. The five largest disclosed entries, including TREPS, totalled 23.86%. Because that calculation includes a liquidity position, it is not a five-stock concentration measure. 

Historical returns showed a negative result over one year and positive annualised results over longer windows. The performance table dated 8 October 2026 reported a one-year return of -4.58%, a three-year CAGR of 9.05% and a five-year CAGR of 12.90%. The five-year annualised figure exceeded the three-year figure by 3.85 percentage points. These differences reflect separate measurement periods rather than a forecast of recovery or further decline. 

The latest snapshot displayed assets of ₹41,891 crore and a Direct Growth expense ratio of 0.79%. Minimum SIP and lump-sum subscription amounts were ₹100 each. The portfolio weights and asset figure are treated as the latest available supporting information because their reporting date was not separately verified as 8 October. 

The stated investment objective focuses on long-term capital appreciation or income through predominantly small-cap companies. The disclosed exit load was 1.00% for redemption or switching out within one year from allotment and nil after one year. Neither the liquidity allocation nor the historical returns establishes future performance or removes market risk.
