ENS Economic Bureau
Bangalore, Nov 26: DBS Chola MF, on Monday, announced the launch of its three year close-ended fund DBS Chola Small Cap Fund. The fund seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation by invest­ing predominantly in equity and equity-related instruments of companies with small mar­ket capitalisation.
To pursue its investment objective, DBS Chola MF will rely on its own independent research to find out the best investment opportunities available in the market. The fund will invest at least 65 percent of its net assets in stocks of small companies. Stock selection will reflect either growth or value invest­ment approach. The new fund offer, that opened for subscription on November 20, will close for subscription on December 20, 2007.Vineet
Potnis, Chief Marketing Officer at DBS Chola Mutual Fund said that the new fund would provide investors the opportunity to diversify their investment portfolios into the small cap asset class. "Since most equity funds are skewed towards large cap or midcap stocks, a dedi cated small cap fund could ensure better diversification and a superior solution to investors' portfolios." he added.
The scheme offers both cumulative and dividend options. Units will be offered at Rs 10 per unit. The mini­mum application amount is Rs 5,000 and in multiples of Re 1 thereafter. Small cap com­panies, as defined by the Fund's objective are those companies whose market capitalization falls between the highest and the lowest constituent of the BSE Small Cap Index.
