5-year CAGR of 35.77–37.62%, outperforming Nifty Smallcap 250 TRI (26.4%) and category average, strong for long-term growth.
Diversified Small-Cap Portfolio
86.7–91.15% in equities, predominantly small-cap stocks (e.g., Aster DM Healthcare 3.74%, Krishna Institute of Medical 3.5%), focusing on Consumer Durables, Auto Components, and Healthcare.
Low Expense Ratio
Expense ratio of 0.46–0.55%, lower than category average and Regular Plan (1.6%), boosting net returns.
Very High Volatility
Standard deviation of ~17.0–18.0, indicating significant volatility due to small-cap focus, riskier than large/mid-cap funds.

Exit Load Constraint
1% exit load for units exceeding 10% of investment if redeemed within 1 year, reducing short-term flexibility.
