SBI Small Cap Fund Direct Growth recorded an exact NAV of ₹199.1304 for 22 October 2026. The requested-date value was established using the permitted Value Research Direct Plan page because the refreshed 5paisa primary card continued to show ₹199.13 dated 21 October. No one-day movement has been estimated from the available figures.

The five-year annualised return stood at 11.82% as of 22 October. The latest available 5paisa snapshot showed a three-year CAGR of 9.19% and a one-year return of 0.81%. Each of these figures covers a different measurement period and should not be interpreted as a prediction of subsequent NAV performance.

Fund-level data on 5paisa showed assets of ₹41,059 crore and a Direct Growth expense ratio of 0.8%. The minimum SIP amount was ₹500, while the minimum lump-sum investment was ₹5,000. The scheme falls in the small-cap equity category, meaning its mandate is focused predominantly on companies below the large- and mid-cap segments.

Ather Energy accounted for 3.51% of the latest disclosed portfolio, followed by Navin Fluorine at 3.28%, City Union Bank at 2.89%, Sundram Fasteners at 2.77% and Kalpataru Projects at 2.66%. The five positions together represented 15.11% of the portfolio. This leaves a substantial majority of assets distributed among other holdings rather than concentrated in the five largest disclosed names.

Small-cap portfolios can exhibit material fluctuations as underlying company valuations change. The NAV is therefore a valuation measure for a particular date rather than an indication of the direction of future returns.
