Lump sum subscriptions / switch-ins / new SIPs and STPs into DSP BlackRock Micro Cap Fund amounting to more than Rs. 1.00 Lakh will not be accepted starting from August 10, 2016 (until further notice)

The communique from DSP BlackRock Mutual Fund to the distributors says that, “while a further increase in AUM in this Scheme will certainly be beneficial for us as an asset management firm, we believe that this may mean that existing investors in this Scheme may be compromised in their returns and they may not get the complete benefit of investing in the micro cap space”.

They further added “We have a disciplined and well researched approach to investing combined with robust risk-management controls and processes which has held us in good stead over the years. The foundation of our business lies in our belief that our investor’s interests are of paramount importance. Therefore, in the interest of the existing investors in the scheme, we believe it would be prudent to limit the pace of further inflows”
