Spot potential early

Small and Mid-Cap companies offer higher return potential than large cap companies on one hand but also carry higher risk than large cap companies, particularly over the short and medium term. The following are some of the reasons why Small / Mid cap companies offer higher return potential.

  1. Relatively less known by market participants / price discovery by market is not full.
  2. Better growth prospects due to presence in a new segment/ area that is growing at a faster pace.
  3. Ability to gain share due to new technology, better product / service etc.
  4. Room for P/E multiples to expand if the company transitions from a small / mid cap to large cap, etc.

To reduce risk, the Fund will maintain a well diversified portfolio. While the portfolio focuses primarily on a buy and hold strategy at most times, it will balance the same with a rational approach to selling when the valuations become too demanding even in the face of reasonable growth prospects in the long run. Though every endeavour will be made to achieve the objectives of the Scheme, the AMC/Sponsors/Trustees do not guarantee that the investment objectives of the Scheme will be achieved. No guaranteed returns are being offered under the Scheme.
