FAQs
Are small caps still a good investment?
Yes, small caps can still be a good investment for long-term investors seeking diversification. A small cap fund can offer exposure to companies that grow faster than large peers while also delivering dividend income.
These investments are more volatile and may not suit every portfolio, but disciplined selection of quality businesses with strong fundamentals can help balance risk and reward.
Should I stay invested in a small cap fund?
Yes, staying invested in a small cap income fund is often recommended to realise the full benefit of long-term growth opportunities. While small caps can be more sensitive to market shifts in the short term, patient investors may be rewarded as quality businesses deliver sustainable earnings and dividends.
TAMIM’s small cap income fund follows a research-driven process designed to manage risk while seeking consistent income and capital growth over time.
Which small-cap fund has given the highest return?
The highest-returning option depends on the period measured, but TAMIM’s small cap income fund has delivered strong results since inception.
While past performance cannot predict future results, this small cap fund demonstrates how disciplined investment in dividend-paying companies can generate attractive long-term outcomes for wholesale and sophisticated investors.
