The Fund seeks to capture opportunities available in the small cap segment. Small Cap companies are companies which have a market capitalization of less than the 250th listed company in terms of market capitalization, as declared by AMFI.
The fund shall invest a minimum of 65% of its corpus in the small cap companies. The scheme may also seek to participate in the growth of other equity and equity related instruments in order to achieve optimal portfolio construction.
The portfolio will be built utilizing a combination of the top-down and bottom-up portfolio construction process, focusing on the fundamentals of each stock, including quality of management. The fund manager will aim to build a diversified portfolio with exposure across sectors, given the fact that small cap stocks present a much wider universe compared to Large and Midcap listed universe.
The Scheme may also invest a certain portion of its corpus in debt and money market securities. Investment in debt securities will be guided by credit quality, liquidity, interest rates and their outlook.
The Scheme may invest in other scheme(s) managed by the AMC or in the scheme(s) of any other mutual fund, provided it is in conformity with the investment objectives of the Scheme and in terms of the prevailing Regulations.
Small Cap firms have the potential to grow into bigger companies over the long term. Since they are under-researched and under-owned, the opportunity to identify good companies is abundant. As small companies are nimble and can take advantage of new opportunities faster, they can introduce new products, enter into new market segments and may grow their revenues faster as compared to Large Cap firms.
Small Cap Companies shall be 251st company onwards in terms of full market capitalization as per the list prepared by AMFI. (For more details on asset allocation, please refer SID and KIM)
