Managed by experienced professionals, the fund managers use thorough research to find small-cap companies with strong growth potential. It's an open-ended equity scheme, allowing you to invest and redeem holdings at any time. By investing across various small-cap companies, the fund aims to spread risk and enhance diversification.
