Direct Growth · SEBI Category: Small Cap Fund · AMC: Tata Mutual Fund
Tata Small Cap Fund was launched in November 2018 and quickly became one of the most admired small cap funds in India. Despite being a relatively newer entrant, it boasts one of the lowest expense ratios in the category at just 0.28% — remarkably cheap for an active small cap fund. Under Chandraprakash Padiyar's management, the fund has delivered exceptional risk-adjusted returns with a disciplined growth-at-reasonable-price philosophy.
Chandraprakash Padiyar is widely regarded as one of the sharpest small cap stock pickers in India. His approach is a concentrated growth strategy — owning high-conviction businesses for the long run. He keeps portfolio turnover very low and focuses on identifying companies with durable competitive advantages. The results speak for themselves — Tata Small Cap has consistently outperformed peers.
