Frequently asked questions
How risky is Samco Small Cap Fund?
Samco Small Cap Fund carries a "Very High" risk rating on SEBI's mandated riskometer scale, the same standardized classification every Indian mutual fund must disclose. This rating reflects the fund's underlying portfolio composition and historical volatility, and is set independently of any single AMC's own marketing - it's meant to give investors a comparable, at-a-glance sense of how much the fund's value can swing before deciding whether it matches their own risk appetite and investment horizon. A higher-risk rating isn't inherently bad; it typically correlates with higher long-term return potential, but also with larger short-term drawdowns, so it should be read alongside the fund's category and your own time horizon rather than in isolation.
What is Samco Small Cap Fund's expense ratio?
Samco Small Cap Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 1.97% per year - the annual fee the AMC deducts from the fund's assets to cover management and operating costs, already reflected in the NAV you see (it isn't billed separately). Direct plans skip the distributor commission built into Regular plans, which is why a direct-plan expense ratio is almost always lower than the same scheme's Regular-plan version. Over long holding periods, even a difference of a few basis points compounds into a meaningfully different final corpus, which is why expense ratio is one of the few fund attributes an investor can compare with total certainty before investing, unlike future returns.
How does Samco Small Cap Fund's expense ratio compare to its category?
Samco Small Cap Fund's expense ratio of 1.97% ranks #33 of 36 funds in the Small Cap Fund category (lower is better) - the category median is 0.91%. Expense ratio is deducted from the fund's assets every year regardless of performance, so a lower ratio is a real, certain cost advantage rather than a projection, unlike future returns.
How big is Samco Small Cap Fund, and how does that compare to its category?
Samco Small Cap Fund manages ₹276 Cr in assets, ranking #34 of 36 funds by size in the Small Cap Fund category - the category median is ₹5,399 Cr. A larger fund generally means deeper liquidity and lower per-unit fixed costs for the AMC to spread across investors, but in categories with a smaller investable universe (like small or mid cap), a very large fund can also face more difficulty entering and exiting positions without moving the price.
How concentrated are Samco Small Cap Fund's top holdings?
Samco Small Cap Fund's single largest disclosed holding, Clearing Corporation of India Ltd, accounts for 19.35% of NAV. Its top 5 holdings together make up 36.4% of the portfolio, and its top 10 disclosed holdings make up 52.1% - as of 2026-09-30. A higher concentration in the top few names means the fund's returns lean more heavily on those specific bets paying off, while a flatter spread means no single holding drives outcomes as much either way.
Who manages Samco Small Cap Fund, and what category does it belong to?
Samco Small Cap Fund is managed by Samco Asset Management Private Limited and is classified under the Small Cap Fund category, the SEBI-defined scheme categorization that groups funds by their investment mandate (market-cap focus, sector, or asset mix) so investors can compare like-for-like funds rather than across unrelated strategies. The AMC (asset management company) is the regulated entity legally responsible for the fund's operations, portfolio decisions, and disclosures, though day-to-day investment calls are made by a designated fund manager within the mandate set by the scheme's category and stated objective.
