    Should You Buy
    Earlier known as L&T Emerging Businesses, this small-cap fund now operates under the HSBC banner since the takeover. The fund retains its positioning due to continuity in leadership. It takes sizeable presence in mid caps apart from its small-cap tilt, higher than many of its peers. The fund targets small players in evolving industries, those in a large industry catering to niche segments or looking to gain market share of unorganised players. The portfolio is now heavily diversified with thin positions even in top bets. After suffering a blip during 2018-2020, it started outperforming since 2021 and has maintained a decent show. The fund’s risk-return remains among the top quartile in its category.
