Portfolio data requires a distinction between listed equities and short-term liquidity positions. TREPS was the largest overall disclosed allocation at 2.68%, but TREPS is a money-market exposure rather than an equity company. TD Power Systems was the largest listed equity holding at 1.88%. BHEL accounted for 1.77%, HDFC Bank for 1.75% and Apar Industries for 1.74%.

The comparatively low weights of the largest listed positions reflect a portfolio spread across a large number of small-cap companies. Small-cap shares can experience greater price volatility and liquidity variation than larger companies, which can contribute to larger daily NAV movements.
