A New Fund
of Funds Investing in Small-Cap Funds!
“I want to invest in
small-cap stocks. But which small-cap mutual fund should I choose?” Arun asked his
friend.
“Instead of choosing
just one fund, why not invest through multiple funds?” his friend asked.
The idea was
new to Arun. In fact, instead of selecting a single small-cap fund, a new
scheme is being introduced that seeks to provide exposure to multiple small-cap
funds. This is the WhiteOak Capital Diversified Equity Small Cap FOF.
WhiteOak
Capital Mutual Fund is launching this scheme as its first Fund of Funds (FOF). The New Fund Offer
will open for subscription on September 28, 2026, and close on October 12, 2026.
The key
objective of the scheme is not to directly select individual small-cap stocks.
Instead, it will invest in small-cap equity fund schemes managed using
different investment approaches.
In other
words, rather than choosing just one small-cap fund, investors can get exposure
to the approaches of multiple funds through a single scheme.
Up
to 100% in Small-Cap Funds!
The scheme
can invest up
to 100% of its portfolio in small-cap equity funds.
According to
the fund house, the portfolio may include funds managed using different
investment styles, factors and approaches aimed at managing downside risks
during market corrections.
This
approach may reduce the dependence on the performance of any single small-cap
fund. Since the portfolio can include multiple fund managers and different
investment approaches, underperformance by one fund may potentially be offset
to some extent by the performance of other funds.
Who
Will Manage the Fund?
The scheme
will be managed by Ashish Agrawal, Bhavin Patadia and Nikunj Sampat.
The fund
house intends to construct a portfolio comprising funds managed by experienced
professionals who have gone through different market cycles and whose
investment approaches focus on managing drawdowns during market declines.
What
Is a Fund of Funds?
A Fund of
Funds is a mutual fund scheme that invests primarily in other mutual fund
schemes instead of directly investing in individual stocks.

How
Is It Different From Investing in a Single Fund?
When
investing in a small-cap fund, an investor is primarily relying on the
stock-selection process and investment approach of a particular fund manager.
In contrast,
this Fund of Funds seeks to combine the approaches of multiple small-cap funds.
Therefore, the responsibility of selecting and combining the underlying funds
shifts from the investor to the fund management team.
Higher
Return Potential Comes With Higher Volatility!
Small-cap
stocks may offer significant growth opportunities over the long term. At the
same time, they can experience higher volatility because of factors such as
economic conditions, corporate earnings, market sentiment and liquidity.
Therefore,
this scheme is positioned for aggressive growth and is intended for
investors who can tolerate a higher level of risk. Investors who may need their
money in the short term or who may not be comfortable with substantial declines
in their investments should approach such a scheme cautiously.
A
Scheme for Long-Term Investors
The scheme
is intended for investors who have a long investment horizon and the ability
to tolerate higher risk.
Combining
multiple funds may help diversify risk to some extent. However, this does
not eliminate the underlying risks associated with small-cap investing.
Therefore,
investors should not invest merely because this is a new fund offering. Before
making an investment decision, they should consider their investment horizon,
risk tolerance, existing mutual fund investments and overall asset allocation.
A new fund
may provide a different investment approach, but the basic principle remains
important: understand
the risk first, and then consider the return potential.
