Mumbai: Helios Mutual Fund has announced the launch of its new Helios India Small Cap Fund, an open-ended equity scheme primarily investing in emerging small-cap companies. The fund aims to capitalize on India’s next growth phase by targeting sectors such as healthcare, chemicals, capital goods, and consumer services, which are generally under-represented in large-cap indices. The offer period for the New Fund Offer (NFO) is open from November 6, 2025, and will close on November 20, 2025.
Investment Details and Benchmark
The scheme will follow Helios’ research-driven, conviction-based investment approach and will be benchmarked against the Nifty Small Cap 250 Total Return Index (TRI). Investors can participate in the NFO with a minimum lump sum investment of ₹5,000, and subsequent investments can be made in multiples of ₹1. The minimum additional purchase amount is ₹1,000.
Objectives and Strategy
This small-cap fund endeavors to generate long-term capital appreciation predominantly through investments in small-cap stocks, aiming for a well-diversified portfolio aligned with the country’s capex, manufacturing, and consumption cycles. Helios Mutual Fund’s management believes that small-cap companies, often early-stage firms, hold substantial growth potential as they are usually at the forefront of innovation.
Market Outlook and Management Perspective
Dinshaw Irani, CEO and Managing Director of Helios India, expressed optimism that improved global liquidity and stability in India’s macroeconomic environment will attract renewed investor interest. He highlighted that while valuations have moderated, the stabilization of earnings forecasts makes small-cap stocks more appealing on a relative basis. Helios India’s Business Head, Deviprasad Nair, emphasized the sector’s growth prospects, supported by India’s burgeoning MSME ecosystem which employs approximately 27 crore persons across over 6.4 crore enterprises.
NFO Schedule and Trading
The NFO will be available for subscription on the NSE MF Invest Platform from November 6 until November 20, 2025, with the scheme’s units expected to be allotted by November 27, 2025. The units will be listed for trading on the NSE and BSE shortly afterward. The scheme will be available for purchase and redemption based on NAV at any business day, offering flexibility to investors.
Additional Features
The scheme offers various plans including direct and regular options, with both growth and dividend payout sub-options. It also provides convenient facilities like SIPs, micro SIPs, SIP top-up, and systematic transfer plans, making it accessible for retail investors seeking to build wealth through small-cap exposure.
Sector and Growth Potential
India’s small-cap universe presents opportunities for long-term growth, especially given the country’s expanding domestic consumption and manufacturing capacity. The fund’s focus on emerging small-cap companies aims to provide investors exposure to some of the most innovative and rapidly growing segments of the equity market, amid expectations of increasing foreign inflows and improved investor confidence in India’s macroeconomic outlook.
