Bajaj Finserv Asset Management Ltd. (BFAML) has launched the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund, an open-ended equity scheme focusing on small-cap stocks. The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens on June 27 and closes on July 11, 2025. The fund adopts a 3-in-1 advantage approach—blending quality, growth, and value—to identify small-cap companies with robust fundamentals and strong growth potential.
With over 80% of small-cap companies reporting 38% profit growth but still trading 15–45% below 52-week highs, BFAML sees the recent correction as a unique entry point. “This strategy is built around identifying quality companies in early growth phases, poised to outperform over time,” said Ganesh Mohan, MD, Bajaj Finserv AMC. The fund filters over 1,100 stocks down to a curated portfolio of 40–100 high-potential picks, leveraging internal forensic checks. It is benchmarked against the BSE 250 SmallCap Index TRI.
Investors have shown increasing interest in small-cap funds as a tool for portfolio diversification. Local financial advisors expect strong participation from the retail segment, attracted by the fund’s low entry point of ₹500 and Bajaj Finserv’s reputation for active fund management. The fund will be managed by Nimesh Chandan, Sorbh Gupta, and Siddharth Chaudhary.
