The small-cap equity scheme maintains exposure to businesses outside the largest listed companies. Share-price movements across these businesses can contribute to changes in the fund's daily NAV, alongside portfolio liquidity and other asset exposures.

Its latest disclosed portfolio showed TREPS at 2.43%. This represented the largest overall disclosed allocation among the visible entries, but TREPS is a short-term money-market exposure rather than an equity holding.

HDFC Bank was the largest disclosed listed equity position at 2.02%. Other prominent holdings included TD Power Systems at 1.79%, Bharat Heavy Electricals at 1.74% and Apar Industries at 1.65%.

The comparatively modest individual equity weights show that the disclosed investments are spread across several securities. The complete portfolio, rather than only these entries, determines the scheme's overall diversification.

The historical one-year return stood at 4.89%, while three-year and five-year annualised returns were 13.24% and 17.29%, respectively. The five-year figure exceeded the three-year CAGR, although each measurement covers a different starting date.

The fund's AUM stood at ₹80,906 crore, with a Direct Growth expense ratio of 0.69%. Minimum SIP investment was ₹100, and the minimum displayed lump-sum amount was ₹5,000.

The risk measures included beta of 0.87, standard deviation of 5.69 and a Sharpe ratio of 0.42.

Its small-cap classification remains relevant when interpreting these figures, since movements in smaller-company equities can differ materially from those in established large-cap businesses.
