Greeting To Our Readers! 


Small-Cap Equity Mutual Funds, invest in companies that have market capitalization, less than INR 500 Crore, and are ranked below 250 in terms of market capitalization.

These funds take the advantage of the growing potential of the small-cap companies in the long run as they are young firms, but at the same time, the risk of investing in small-cap is a bit high than another member of the Equity category.

Investors who plan to invest for long and can bear the volatility of the market should look towards investing in small-cap equity mutual funds. These funds can rise the most in a bull market and can also suffer the steepest falls in a bear market.
