smallcase rationale
For long-term investors, dividend returns are very important as they are an
additional income that is earned over and above the capital gains earned by
holding onto the stock.

This smallcase consists of companies that have increased their dividend

payout consecutively for the last 10 years.

Stock returns consist of two parts--price return and dividend return. An investor
can earn back a signi icant portion of the investment in the form of dividends,
before selling the stock.

CAGR

CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) is a useful measure of growth or

performance of a portfolio. Every year returns generated by a portfolio are
different. Let's say if a portfolio is live for 3 years and returns generated by the
portfolio are 5%, 15% & -7%, respectively in the irst, second and third year. Then
we calculate CAGR as a return number that would give the same terminal
investment value at the end of three years, as we get when the portfolio gains by
5% & 15% in the irst two years and drops by 7% in the third year. The CAGR in this
case would be 3.94%. This means that you will always end up with the same
investment value at the end of the third year, if your portfolio gains by 3.94% every
year or 5%, 15% and -7%, respectively in the irst, second and third year.
In simple words, it indicates the annual return generated by the smallcase from
the date of launch. For smallcases live for less than 1 year, absolute returns in the
applicable time period are shown. Only live data is considered for all calculations.
Returns and CAGR numbers don’t include backtested data.
P.S. - CAGR calculation methodology got updated from 25th Apr’22 on all
smallcase Platforms. Please read this post to understand the changes in detail

Volatility Label

Changing stock prices on a daily basis results in luctuating investment value of

your portfolio. If the daily change in the investment value of a portfolio is too
drastic, it means prices of stocks in the portfolio are changing very rapidly. Such
portfolios have High Volatility. Every smallcase is categorized into one of the three
volatility buckets - High Volatility, Medium Volatility and Low Volatility. This is done
by comparing smallcase volatility vs broader market volatility.
Investing in High Volatility smallcases means that change in your investment
values can be very sudden and drastic. Following table represents the logic
followed to categorize smallcases into various volatility buckets

Volatility Ratio (VR) Label

VR >= 1.3 High Volatility

0.8 <=VR< 1.3 Medium Volatility

VR < 0.8 Low Volatility

Volatility Ratio = Average annual rolling standard deviation of the smallcase

divided by the average annual rolling standard deviation of the Nifty 50 Index,
since launch of the smallcase.

Calculation of Volatility if the smallcase is less than 1 year old

If the weight of Equities in the portfolio is less than 40%, the smallcase will
be considered ‘Low Volatility’

If the weight of Equities in the portfolio is between 40% to 70%, the

smallcase will be considered ‘Medium Volatility’

If the weight of Equities in the portfolio is greater than 70%, then the weight
of large-cap stocks within the equities portion is taken into consideration

If the weight of large-cap stocks is more than 70%, the smallcase is

considered as ‘Medium Volatility’

If the weight of large-cap stocks is less than 70%, the smallcase is

considered as ‘High Volatility’

For smallcases where manager has not prescribed any weights, equal weights are
assumed for calculations.

Segment

Stocks/ETFs belonging to a smallcase are categorized under different segments.

Weightage of a segment is calculated as sum of weights of all stocks belonging to
that segment. Suppose 4 stocks, with each having a weight of 10%, belong to the
Food Products segment. Then the weight of the Food Product segment in the
smallcase will be 40% (4*10)

For smallcases where manager has not prescribed any weights, equal weights are
assumed for calculations.

Review

Rebalancing is the process of periodically reviewing and updating the

constituents of a smallcase. This is done to ensure that constituents in the
smallcase continue to re lect the underlying theme or strategy

Market Cap Categorization of Stocks

All the stocks listed on NSE(National Stock Exchange) are arranged in decreasing
order of Market Cap, so that the stock with the largest market cap gets 1st Rank.
Stocks ranked equal to or below 100 are categorized as Large Cap. Stocks ranked
below or equal to 250, but ranked above 100 are categorized as Mid Cap stocks.
Stocks ranked above 250 are categorized as smallcap

Market Cap Categorization of smallcases

If the sum of weights of constituent large cap stocks is greater than 50%,
then smallcase is categorized as Largecap

If the sum of weights of constituent mid cap stocks is greater than 50%, then
smallcase is categorized as Midcap

If the sum of weights of constituent small cap stocks is greater than 50%,
then smallcase is categorized as Smallcap

If the sum of weights of constituent large cap stocks is greater than 30%,
sum of weights of mid cap stocks are greater than 30%, and sum of weights
of large cap and mid cap stocks are greater than 80%, then smallcase is
categorized as Large & Midcap

If the sum of weights of constituent small cap stocks is greater than 30%,
sum of weights of mid cap stocks are greater than 30%, and sum of weights
of small cap and mid cap stocks are greater than 80%, then smallcase is
categorized as Mid & Smallcap

If none of the above conditions are met, then smallcase is categorized as

Multicap

Marketcap category of a smallcase might be different from the above

mentioned, if the creator/manager of the smallcase speci ically de ines a
particular category

For smallcases where manager has not prescribed any weights, equal weights are
assumed for calculations.
