Small cap funds can be a potential opportunity for investors who have a higher risk appetite and a relatively longer investment horizon. The small cap sector includes several growing businesses that have the potential to transform into tomorrows market leaders.

What is a small cap fund

A small cap fund primarily invests in companies that often in their growth phase and may offer a higher upside potential over long term as compared to more established firms. However, they can also carry higher market risks and may be more sensitive to short-term market movements.

The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund aims to identify businesses that have strong fundamentals but are trading below their intrinsic value due to temporary market shifts. The fund is supported by Bajaj Finserv AMC's proprietary investment philosophy INQUBE that ensures bottom-up stock selection and focuses on companies that have sustainable business models, credible fundamentals, and the potential to scale over time.

Additionally, the fund practises careful risk management and aims to potentially vet companies for speculative bets and focus on businesses with clear growth visibility instead.
