Fund Performance: A rare contraction, but recurring outperformance

Ampersand fund NAV declined 2.3% in October, but yet again performed ahead of benchmark BSE 500, as well as major indices. The contraction was due to some of our core holdings correcting in line with market trends, partly cushioned by gains in select stocks which emerged as new winners.

Our performance across various time periods illustrates consistent and strong showing. Since inception in Sept 2017, our fund has delivered over 25.2% CAGR, well ahead of all major indices.

Fund Performance: Mixed showing, lagged benchmark after extended run

Ampersand fund NAV rose 1.5% in September, ahead of other mid and small cap indices. However, our
performance lagged both Nifty and benchmark BSE 500 for the first time this financial year, mainly due to
significant advance tax outgo during the month. Co-incidentally, the last occasion this had happened was in
March 2024, and again for the same reason. Our portfolio had a mixed showing, with several stocks registering
reasonable gains, but select few hurting us immensely.

Our performance across various time periods continues to exhibit a consistently superior showing. Since
inception in Sept 2017, our fund has delivered around 26% CAGR, well ahead of all major indices.
