Investing in shares of small companies with low market capitalisation can offer significant potential for gains due to their lower stock prices. However, this investment avenue carries notable risks. Such stocks often suffer from limited liquidity, resulting in fewer transactions compared to larger companies. Additionally, they typically lack the stringent financial reporting and oversight that larger corporations undergo, making them more vulnerable to price manipulation and fraudulent activities.
Due to their restricted liquidity and diminished oversight, stocks of small companies frequently exhibit heightened volatility, which amplifies risks for investors. Therefore, conducting thorough research and implementing careful risk management strategies are imperative to navigate the uncertainties associated with these stocks and mitigate potential losses.
