| Benchmark | S&P BSE Small Cap Index
BSE’s new index series called 'S&P BSE MID Cap' index and 'S&P BSE Small Cap' index is used to track the performance of companies with relatively smaller market capitalization. S&P BSE-500 Index - represents more than 93% of the listed companies with large market capitalization that influence the movement of the S&P BSE 500 index. This made necessary the construction of a separate indicator to capture the trend in companies with lower market capitalization. Thus, the S&P BSE Mid Cap and S&P BSE Small Cap indices were formed and have proven to be a great utility to the investing community. |

Expert view of the fund + outlook
This is a moderately high risk fund, useful for those with a good risk appetite. As always, investment experts strongly advise against using more than 30% of your investment portfolio in one investment and this hold true here as well. Not very advisable as a first investment, but this again depends on every person’s individual ability to bear risk. Also consider that the fund has not been rated by CIRISL, it’s better to wait until a rating has been established.
