Those calculations describe the displayed concentration without revealing the full sector mix. Company identity alone also does not establish the exact small-cap allocation or the portfolio’s exposure to other company-size segments. 

Historical returns were 1.62% over one year, 11.97% annualised over three years and 15.19% annualised over five years. The five-year CAGR exceeded the three-year CAGR by 3.22 percentage points. The difference arises from separate trailing windows and cannot be treated as an annual return earned during a specific intervening period. 

The latest operating snapshot displayed assets of ₹13,094 crore and a Direct Growth expense ratio of 0.51%. Minimum SIP and lump-sum amounts were ₹100 and ₹5,000. The disclosed exit-load provision was 0.50% for redemption or switching within 30 days, with nil after that period. The exit-load condition is distinct from recurring portfolio expenses. 

The small-cap category identifies the portfolio’s principal investment focus. The five named companies offer a partial view rather than a complete explanation of risk or daily performance. Holdings and operating information are included as the available snapshot, without assuming a common exact date for every field. No security-level explanation is assigned to the NAV decline because the required contemporaneous contribution evidence was not established.
