Anything over a year is annualised (CAGR); shorter windows are absolute. The benchmark row is the index's own Total Return Index, as published by NSE, measured to 13 Nov 2026. The category row is the median Direct plan in Small Cap — the middle fund, not a ranking, and a median rather than an average so that one mis-stated scheme cannot move it. As on 13 Nov 2026.

The worst it has been

Deepest fallTime to recoverToday, from its peak
-24.4%15 months-2.4%
0%-9%-18%-27%2026
How far below its own record high the fund sat, on every single day it has existed. Flat along the top means it was making new highs; every dip is a stretch where somebody who bought at the wrong moment was down.

A drawdown is the fall from a previous high to the low that followed it. It is the number that decides whether somebody stays invested — a fund can have an excellent ten-year return and still have been unbearable to hold in year four.

Every one-year period it has lived through

The full spread of one-year outcomes, with the fund's actual last twelve months marked. It answers the question a single number cannot: is right now an ordinary year for this fund, or an unusual one?

Rolling returns ask a fairer question than a single five-year figure: not "what did it do from this one start date", but "what happened across every start date". A fund whose worst year is −45% is a different proposition from one whose worst is −8%, even if the averages match.

Calendar years

Each year on its own, January to December. Losing years hang below the line — averages hide them, and the years somebody actually had to sit through are the ones that decide whether they stayed.

What it actually holds

The real portfolio the AMC filed with AMFI, as on 31 Oct 2026. Nothing here is estimated — when a fund has no filing in our store the section simply does not appear. A fund is its holdings; the returns above are only what those holdings did.

Asset allocation

97.97%Equity
2.03%Cash & Equivalents

A fund's risk starts here — how much of it is even in the market — before any question of which stocks or which sectors. Cash is not idleness; it is the manager's choice not to be invested, and it shows up as a drag in a rising market and a cushion in a falling one.

What the manager did last month

Between the filing of 30 Sep 2026 and 31 Oct 2026. A position grows for two reasons — the manager bought more, or the price went up — and only the first is a decision. The share count is what separates them, because it moves only when somebody trades.

Only stocks and fund units are listed. Treasury bills, repo and money-market lines roll over every month by design — they are larger in rupees than most equity trades and are not decisions, so they are summarised as cash above rather than listed as activity. Share counts and values are the fund house's own filing. What a position cost when it was first bought is in no monthly disclosure, so a value here is what the shares were worth at the later filing, not what was paid.

One caveat on the share count: a corporate action — a stock split, a bonus issue, a merger, or an ISIN change — also moves the number of shares without the manager trading, and a monthly disclosure does not flag it. A sudden clean multiple (a doubling, a halving) is more likely a split than a decision. Treat a single large, round jump as something to check against the stock's own corporate-action history rather than as the manager buying or selling.

How it compares in its category

Against the Small Cap Direct schemes with the highest three-year return. Same category, same plan — the only comparison that means anything. The list re-sorts itself as returns move; it is an ordering by one number, not a view on which fund anyone should hold.

What a Small Cap scheme is

At least 65% in companies ranked 251st and below.

The highest return and the highest pain in Indian equity. These companies are thinly traded, so a fund that grows too large struggles to buy and sell without moving the price — which is why good small-cap funds close to new money.

Who it suits. Only money that will not be needed for a decade, and only alongside steadier funds.

How long money should stay. 10 years or more.

Questions people ask

What is the NAV of JM Small Cap Fund — Direct Plan — IDCW Option?

₹11.9171 as on 13 Nov 2026, from AMFI's daily NAV file. NAV is declared once each business day after markets close, so the figure here is the most recent one published.

What is the difference between the Direct and Regular plan of JM Small Cap Fund?

They hold the identical portfolio, run by the same manager. A Regular plan pays a distributor commission out of the fund, inside its expense ratio — commonly 0.5% to 1.2% a year more than Direct. That difference is charged on the whole balance every year, so it compounds. As an illustration, not a forecast: ₹1,00,000 invested for ten years at 12% a year ends at about ₹3.11 lakh, but at 10.5% — a 1.5 percentage-point gap and nothing else changed — it ends at about ₹2.71 lakh, roughly ₹40,000 less. The longer you hold, the wider the gap. Direct is the same fund without the commission.

What does the IDCW Option option mean?

An IDCW option pays part of the fund's gains out to you, and the NAV falls by exactly what it pays. It is not extra return — it is your own money returned, taxed at your slab rate. That also means a return computed from NAV alone understates an IDCW scheme, which is why no CAGR is shown here for it.

What kind of scheme is this?

At least 65% in companies ranked 251st and below. The highest return and the highest pain in Indian equity. These companies are thinly traded, so a fund that grows too large struggles to buy and sell without moving the price — which is why good small-cap funds close to new money.

How long should money stay in it?

Typically 10 years or more. Only money that will not be needed for a decade, and only alongside steadier funds.
