Understanding HDFC Small Cap Fund - Growth Option

The NAV shown above is the per-unit price of HDFC Small Cap Fund - Growth Option, declared after market hours on each business day. It is already net of the fund's expense ratio, so the returns calculated from it reflect what an investor actually earned. Returns up to one year are shown as absolute figures, while three-year, five-year and since-launch returns are annualised (CAGR), which is the standard way longer-term performance is reported.

This page tracks the Regular plan. To judge the fund, look at its longer-term returns and how steadily the NAV has grown rather than any single year. You can back-test a SIP in this fund to see what a monthly investment would have grown to, or compare it with other Small-Cap funds before deciding. Whether it suits you depends on your goal, time horizon and risk appetite, so speak to your mutual fund distributor before investing.
