Tata Small Cap Fund Direct Growth reached an NAV of ₹45.3301 on 9 September 2026, gaining 0.07% over the latest valuation day. Its three-year CAGR stood at approximately 11.92%. Recent data placed the one-year return at 0.40% and the five-year CAGR at 16.01%, creating a wide separation between the shortest and longest of those trailing periods. 

The five-year annualised figure was more than 15 percentage points above the recent one-year return. This comparison captures very different starting dates and market conditions, particularly relevant for a small-cap portfolio where shorter-period returns can shift materially. 

The fund managed around ₹12,696 crore. Its Direct Growth expense ratio stood at 0.51%. Minimum SIP was ₹100 and the minimum lump-sum investment ₹5,000. The reported exit load was 0.5% on applicable redemptions within 30 days. 

Kirloskar Pneumatic was the largest disclosed stock at 4.90%, followed by Usha Martin at 4.54%, Godrej Industries at 4.10%, IDFC First Bank at 3.99% and Sudarshan Chemical Industries at 3.98%. Together, those five positions represented 21.51% of assets. 

The latest asset-allocation snapshot showed equity at approximately 93.08% and cash-related exposure at 6.84%, with a very small residual allocation elsewhere. This gives the portfolio a predominantly equity character, consistent with its small-cap classification. 

Small-cap schemes focus primarily on companies outside the large- and mid-cap universe. Their individual holdings can therefore respond differently to liquidity, earnings developments and broader market conditions than large-company portfolios. The NAV movement for a single day remains only one point in a much longer return series.
