Pune (Maharashtra) [India], June 27: Risk is often misunderstood as something to be avoided, but in investing, it's the fuel that can power long-term returns.
It's also important to recognize that risk isn't defined by size - sometimes, even large, familiar companies can fail due to issues like poor governance or excessive debt. Long-term outperformance doesn't come from size alone, but from quality, strong governance, and sustainable growth.
The key is not to avoid risk, but to understand it, manage it, and potentially use it to your advantage.
This is especially true in the small cap space, which tends to be highly volatile. But in investing, higher risk usually means higher potential returns. To tap into the potential of small caps while mitigating risk through research-backed stock selection, the Bajaj Finserv AMC announces the launch of Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund with a 3-in-1 advantage: Quality - companies with distinct competitive advantage, Growth - companies with high scalability potential, and Value - companies that are trading at below their intrinsic value.
The New Fund Offer period begins on June 27, 2025 and is on till July 11, 2025. Units will be available at a offer price of Rs. 10 during the NFO.
What are small cap funds?
Small cap companies are businesses ranked 251st and beyond on the basis of market capitalisation on the stock exchange as per SEBI guidelines. They often operate in emerging sectors and may offer higher growth potential over the long term.
For instance, in the past half-a-decade, small caps have outpaced large and mid-caps in profit contribution, growing up to 2.5X faster.
