should you buy
DSP small cap used to run under the micro cap stamp till a few years back. It was placed in the small cap basket during classification in 2018. Apart from the small-cap inclination, it maintains a large mid-cap presence. Fund Manager’s strength lies in extensive bottom-up research, identifying strong, growth-oriented businesses with healthy cash flow and backed by competent management. Portfolio size has been sharply reduced from 80 odd names to about 65 now, providing a healthy position size at the top end of the portfolio. The fund’s performance has degraded over the past one year, leading to a decline in its long-term return profile. However, the fund’s ability to control downside risk still keeps it in a strong position over the long term.
