Objective

The primary investment objective is to seek to generate long term capital appreciation from a portfolio that is substantially constituted of equity and equity related securities of small cap companies/Entities. From time to time, the fund manager will also seek participation in other equity and equity related Instruments to achieve optimal portfolio construction. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved

Other plans of this fund

Returns are computed by Tradinity from each scheme's own published NAV, so they are net of the fund's expenses. Periods over one year are annualised (CAGR). Past performance does not indicate future returns. Only Growth-option schemes are ranked: an IDCW scheme pays cash out of its NAV, so its NAV understates what an investor earned.
