Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 0%, 0% and 0%, and the scheme is tagged as High Risk. Our view is that this is a small-cap portfolio built for investors who can tolerate sharp swings and want to assess the fund more by its portfolio structure and recent behaviour than by a long performance history.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark is Nifty Small Cap, and the fund has been in market for a short period, so the performance picture is still early. The portfolio is heavily tilted toward small caps, with a meaningful cash and liquid allocation, so the fund may behave differently from a fully invested small-cap strategy.<\/p>\n<div

In the latest 1-month period, it trailed the benchmark slightly, but over 3 months it moved ahead of the benchmark by a wider margin. That tells us the fund has been able to recover after weaker patches, though the path has not been smooth.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-month pattern is particularly important because it shows a stronger finish than the benchmark after some uneven movement along the way. For a small-cap fund launched in March 2026, that kind of rebound matters more than one isolated month. It suggests the portfolio has participated in the small-cap rally but has also shown the kind of short-term variation investors usually expect in this segment.<\/p>\n<p>There is no meaningful long-term return history yet, so we would avoid drawing conclusions about full market-cycle consistency. Even so, the available numbers indicate that the fund can keep pace with, and at times move ahead of, its benchmark over short periods. The gap between the 1-month and 3-month readings also points to a fund that may be more dependent on entry point and market mood than on a mature long-term compounding record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 Aug 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-mf-premium-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;background:#f7faff\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_Abakkus_Small_Cap\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Abakkus Small Cap?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A fund&#8217;s past returns alone don&#8217;t tell you whether you should buy it today or continue holding it.<\/p>\n<p>The right decision depends on factors such as your current allocation, purchase price, risk profile, investment horizon and the role this fund plays in your overall portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already holding Abakkus Small Cap?

Ltd. under SEBI Registered Investment Adviser registration INA000017639.<\/p>\n<p>The current fund does not yet have a 1-year record in the peer table, so it cannot be compared on the same horizon with the more established names. The peer set with available 1-year figures shows much stronger short-term numbers, while the 3-year and 5-year figures available for some peers also point to more developed compounding histories. That makes the current fund look earlier in its journey rather than meaningfully comparable on longer horizons.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the fund\u2019s own short-window performance has been constructive relative to the benchmark, which is important for a new scheme. So the comparison tells two different stories: against peers with live long-horizon records it has little history to match yet, but against its benchmark it has shown that it can improve from a softer month to a stronger three-month stretch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 Aug 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<div class=\"univest-peer-login-cta\" style=\"margin:20px 0;padding:16px 18px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;border-radius:8px;background:#f7faff\">\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><strong>Want to know more?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"font-weight:700;text-decoration:none\">Log in to Univest<\/a> for more mutual fund insights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portfolio_where_your_money_goes\"><\/span>Portfolio: where your money goes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Market-cap bucket<\/th>\n<th>Allocation<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Large cap<\/td>\n<td>4.35%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mid cap<\/td>\n<td>4.48%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Small cap<\/td>\n<td>74.76%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Other cap<\/td>\n<td>16.41%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Sector<\/th>\n<th>Allocation<\/th>\n<th>Key holdings<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>CASH &amp; CASH EQUIVALENTS AND NET ASSETS<\/td>\n<td>19.28%<\/td>\n<td>CLEARING CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD (12.88%); TRIPARTY REPO (4.21%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HEALTHCARE<\/td>\n<td>10.31%<\/td>\n<td>DR.

Large-cap and mid-cap exposure is small at 4.35% and 4.48%, while 16.41% sits in other cap, so the fund still has some flexibility outside the pure small-cap core. That mix means the portfolio may move more sharply than a diversified large-cap fund, but it is not fully concentrated in one style bucket alone.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest sector is CASH &amp; CASH EQUIVALENTS AND NET ASSETS at 19.28%, which is materially larger than each of the operating sectors shown. Healthcare at 10.31% and Bank at 7.86% follow behind, so cash appears likely to have a noticeable influence on the fund\u2019s day-to-day behaviour. That cash weight may also reduce immediate equity exposure relative to a fully deployed small-cap portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Among the equity sectors shown, healthcare is the largest operating sleeve and could shape results more than the smaller Bank, Domestic Equities and Capital Goods allocations. Still, the small-cap bias across the portfolio suggests stock-specific movement may remain important, especially if the cash allocation is reduced over time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 28 Aug 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_invest\"><\/span>Who should invest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This fund suits investors who are comfortable with High Risk and who can hold through short-term swings.

The main trade-off is that the portfolio offers strong small-cap participation, but the cash-heavy structure and new-scheme track record mean the path may be uneven before any longer-term pattern becomes visible.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_and_exit_load\"><\/span>Tax and exit load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding period<\/th>\n<th>Tax rate<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held less than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>Short-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held more than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>12.5%<\/td>\n<td>Long-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Exit load:<\/strong> Nil up to 10% of units and 1% for the remaining units if sold on or before 3 months.

Its recent three-month behaviour is stronger than its one-month reading and has outpaced the benchmark over that shorter stretch, but the track record is not yet long enough to call it a mature compounding story. The portfolio\u2019s heavy small-cap tilt, together with a meaningful cash allocation, makes it a distinctive but high-variance option for investors who can tolerate uneven returns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 31 August 2026 at 2:44 PM IST<\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-login-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;background:#eef5ff;border:1px solid #cddff7;text-align:center\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_mutual_funds_with_Univest\"><\/span>Explore mutual funds with Univest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Review mutual fund data, compare performance and explore fund insights on Univest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"display:inline-block;padding:11px 20px;border-radius:6px;background:#1f4e79;color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none;font-weight:700\">Explore Univest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"univest-disclaimer\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RIA_disclosure\"><\/span>RIA disclosure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks.
