Why Small & Mid Cap PMS?
Small & Mid Cap PMS invests in companies ranked 101st–500th (mid cap) and below 500th (small cap) by market capitalisation. These businesses are often early in their growth journey — nimble, high-conviction, and capable of delivering superior returns over a 5–7 year horizon. The trade-off is higher volatility, making it ideal for growth-oriented HNIs with a long time horizon.
- Higher Alpha: Small & mid cap PMS historically delivers 5–10% excess returns over Nifty 50 over a full market cycle

- Diversification: Exposure to sectors and businesses not adequately represented in large cap indices
- Active Management Advantage: Inefficiencies in mid/small cap pricing create more opportunities for skilled managers
