RETHINKING SMALL CAP VOLATILITY THROUGH A QUALITY LENS
While small caps tend to experience higher drawdowns compared to broader indices, the relatively lower
drawdown in the quality small cap index highlights the importance of selective exposure. This reinforces
the need for right active management over passive benchmark investing.

MEET MR. MARKET —


A TIMELESS LESSON IN INVESTING BY BENJAMIN GRAHAM
Every day, he offers to buy your share or sell you his at a new price.
His mood swings aren’t based on fundamentals, but emotions.

Some days, he’s euphoric and offers an inflated price

Other days, he’s fearful and offers a deep discount


VOLATILITY DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN RISK,
IT OFTEN MEANS OPPORTUNITY

WHAT WE LEARN FROM MR. MARKET

Volatility is not a threat You are not obligated Emotional Independent


— it's an opportunity. to act. discipline pays. thinking wins.

When Mr. Market panics, You don’t have to buy or Mr. Market’s irrationality Success comes from
disciplined investors can sell daily. The power lies is your edge—if you focusing on value,
buy quality at a discount in patience. remain rational. not noise.

IN SUMMARY

Perception of Risk
• Risk is not the enemy – it’s the fuel for long-term returns
• Risk ≠ Size: Even large, familiar companies have failed due to poor governance or excessive debt
• In investing, outperformance in the long term lies in quality, governance, and growth—not just size

Why Invest in Small Caps


• Higher growth potential: Small caps outpaced large and mid caps in profit contribution (2.5x growth in 4 years)
• Diversification & depth: Small caps span across themes, offering broad exposure to India’s economic engines

Why Invest in Small Caps Now


• Valuation opportunity: FY25 correction in prices without erosion in fundamentals presents a value entry point
• Profit growth intact: Despite market correction, profits and return ratios (74% with ROCE >10%) remain strong
• Undiscovered leaders: Many small caps are driving growth in niche segments and are market leaders in these segments
• Selective corrections in certain segments present a favorable opportunity for small cap NFOs to build well-positioned portfolios

Why Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund


• Three-pronged alpha strategy: Combines Growth, Quality and Value styles
• Robust investment process: INQUBE framework blending top-down trends, bottom-up stock picking, and behavioural insights
• Proven capability: 78 unique small cap holdings across existing schemes + seasoned investment team with multi-domain expertise
