Nippon India Small Cap Fund Direct Growth recorded an exact NAV of ₹202.2732 for 15 October 2026. The NAV declined 1.21% during the valuation day, while the three-year return displayed by Value Research stood at 13.77%. The exact-date figure was used from the permitted fallback because the 5paisa primary card had not yet moved to the requested valuation date.

The scheme is categorised as a small-cap equity fund. The latest 5paisa snapshot listed assets under management at approximately ₹80,906 crore and a Direct Growth expense ratio of 0.69%. Small-cap portfolios can contain a relatively broad spread of companies, and the disclosed holdings for this scheme reflected comparatively low individual stock weights.

TREPS represented 2.68% of the displayed portfolio and therefore needs to be separated from listed equities. It is a short-term money-market exposure rather than a stock. TD Power Systems was the largest listed equity holding at 1.88%, followed by BHEL at 1.77%, HDFC Bank at 1.75% and Apar Industries at 1.74%. The five largest displayed entries, including TREPS, represented 9.82% of the portfolio.

The latest 5paisa performance snapshot showed one-year and five-year trailing returns of 9.14% and 17.03%, respectively. Its disclosed risk statistics included standard deviation of 5.58, beta of 0.86 and a Sharpe ratio of 0.54. These supporting figures are separate from the exact-date NAV verification and represent the latest portfolio and performance information displayed on the scheme page.
