Risk Management
Small and Mid-Cap companies carry higher risk than large cap companies, particularly over the short and medium term. The Scheme endeavours to control risk by adopting following investment strategy:
Maximum exposure to single small and mid-cap company to be restricted to 10% of net assets
Number of stocks in the portfolio to be at least 25
The investment in Small Cap to be restricted to 15% of net assets
The Scheme permits investments in companies other than small and mid-cap companies up to 25% of net assets
Due diligence – regular company visits and financial analysis
WHY CLOSE – ENDED FUND?
Mid and Small-Cap companies may take time to mature, therefore there is a need to remain invested for a longer period of time
Flexibility to develop core portfolio with longer time horizon to reap full benefits of investments as there is no pressure to invest/divest in hurry- Helps take advantage of volatility
