HDFC Small Cap Fund Direct Growth recorded a NAV of ₹148.62 on 30 October 2026. The primary 5paisa card showed a 1.82% decline for the valuation day. Fund size stood at ₹40,801 crore, while the Direct Growth expense ratio was 0.79%. Minimum SIP and lump-sum investments were ₹100 each.

Historical returns differed meaningfully across periods. The one-year return stood at -9.85%, while the three-year CAGR was 8.89%. Over five years, the scheme recorded an annualised return of 13.06%, and its maximum-period return was displayed at 17.53%.

TREPS accounted for 10.03%, making it the largest overall disclosed allocation. This should not be described as the scheme's largest equity holding because TREPS is a short-term money-market exposure. Firstsource Solutions was the largest listed equity position at 3.68%. Aster DM Quality Care represented 3.37%, Gabriel India 3.09% and eClerx Services 2.92%.

Small-cap schemes can experience larger day-to-day fluctuations because their portfolios are focused on smaller listed companies. The 1.82% decline recorded on 30 October is therefore a single valuation-day observation and should not be used to infer the scheme's longer-term direction.

The displayed risk measures included an alpha of 6.86, standard deviation of 5.08, beta of 0.96 and Sharpe ratio of 0.34. These historical metrics do not forecast future returns.
