According to SEBI regulations, small-cap funds must invest at least 65 per cent of their capital in small-cap firms with a market size of less than 5,000 Cr. Small-cap funds have a larger risk-reward ratio than large- and mid-cap funds, making them an equity mutual fund type that financial gurus always favour for long-term investments. In the long run, small-cap funds may outperform large-cap and mid-cap funds since small companies have a higher potential to achieve their strong growth plans, but there is a significant risk involved since small-cap funds are most vulnerable to a gloomy market and an unstable economy.
