Abakkus Small Cap Fund - Regular (G)

EQUITY INVESTMENT STRATEGY: The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate long-term capital by investing predominantly in equity and equity related securities of Small Cap companies. The Scheme will be actively managed. The investment emphasis of the scheme would be on identifying companies with sound corporate managements and prospects of good future growth. Essentially, the focus would be on stocks driven by long-term fundamentals. However, short term opportunities would also be seized, provided underlying values supports these opportunities. A portion of the scheme will also be invested in IPOs, emerging sectors and other primary market offerings that meet our investment criteria. The scheme would invest a substantial portion of its investible assets (65% - 100%) in equity and equity related instruments of small cap companies. This is namely, large cap (1-100th company in terms of full market capitalization), mid cap companies (101st -250th company in terms of full market capitalization) and small cap (251st company onwards in terms of full market capitalization) as defined under Para 2.7 of the SEBI Master Circular dated June 27, 2024 as may be amended by SEBI from time to time. Pending investment of the scheme may be invested in debt & money market instruments and other liquid instruments or both. The scheme may have prudent exposure to Futures & Options (F&O) to capture opportunities arising out of market imperfection and to hedge the portfolio, whenever necessary. Stock identification process would include company and business analysis, industry analysis, future plans, projections, and valuations. The fund management team may also consider technical analysis as part of stock identification process. Based on analysis of various financial and non-financial parameters, the stocks will finally be shortlisted for portfolio construction process. The Fund Manager of the scheme would also take cues from the global macroeconomic trends, Government policy and monetary policy actions to decide on the asset allocation. The allocations will be within the limits defined in the asset allocation table. Apart from in-house research, external research is used as an important source of information. Various magazines, journals, newspapers and databases also help in the research process.
