## The Smallcap factsheet,
in plain words.

### What does the Smallcap factsheet show?
The model, back tested record of Smallcap: a CAGR of 37.40%, a deepest fall of −22.34% and a Sharpe ratio of 1.59 as of 27 Apr 2026, with 50 holdings rebalanced every 2 weeks. Every figure is after estimated charges and names its date.

### What does it cost to run Smallcap?
0.2% of traded value per rebalance, nothing else: no subscription, no AUM fee, no performance fee and no lock in. About 1.9% of capital a year at 0.2% of traded value, from the published rebalance record: 27 rebalances in the year to 11 May 2026, about 9.4 times the portfolio traded (sales and purchases). Weight resets and broker side charges (brokerage, STT, exchange charges, GST) are not included. Turnover varies year to year. On the minimum capital of ₹2,19,000 that is about ₹4,130 a year, an estimate from the model record, not a promise.

### How much capital does Smallcap need?
About ₹2,19,000, enough to hold one share of every name at recent prices, as of 8 Aug 2026. More capital tracks the model weights more closely.

### Are these actual returns?
