Nippon India Small Cap Fund Direct Growth reported a NAV of ₹208.42 on 24 September 2026. The day’s move was -1.13%, which places the daily movement in the clear decline bucket rather than a marginal dip. For a small-cap fund, though, a single session does not say much on its own; the longer return record matters more.

Over the latest three-year period, the scheme delivered a CAGR of 15.72%. The five-year annualised return was stronger at 18.63%, exceeding the three-year figure by 2.91 percentage points. Its one-year return stood at 8.83%, a notably softer number than both longer periods. That spread across time frames shows how small-cap performance can look very different depending on the chosen horizon.

The fund size stood at around ₹62,096 crore and the scheme had a 15-year operating history. That makes it both seasoned and substantial in scale. On the cost side, the Direct Growth expense ratio was 0.71%, which is a relevant operating figure when comparing net outcomes across funds in the same category.

Investment access remained straightforward. The minimum SIP was ₹100 and the minimum lump-sum investment was also ₹100. In other words, the fund combined a large asset base with a low entry threshold, even though the portfolio category itself sits in the higher-volatility end of equity investing.
