HDFC Small Cap Fund Direct Growth posted a NAV of ₹159.92 on 24 September 2026. The fund declined 0.91% on the day. Small-cap schemes often experience wider short-term variation than large-cap portfolios, so the daily change is useful mainly as a marker rather than a full conclusion.
The return spread across periods was quite wide. The one-year return stood at -2.34%, which contrasts with a three-year CAGR of 11.16% and a five-year annualised return of 14.62%. The five-year figure exceeded the one-year reading by 16.96 percentage points, underlining how sharply shorter-period outcomes can diverge from longer-term annualised history.
The scheme managed about ₹41,891 crore and had an operating history of 13 years. The Direct Growth expense ratio was 0.75%. Minimum investment requirements were only ₹100 for SIPs and ₹100 for lump-sum investment, making entry straightforward despite the large fund size.
The disclosed portfolio showed TREPS at 10.25%, Firstsource Solutions at 3.71%, Aster DM Quality at 3.56%, Gabriel India at 3.25% and eClerx Services at 3.09%. Those five entries together represented 23.86% of the disclosed portfolio.
