PremiumBefore choosing a mutual fund scheme, investors weigh the advantages and disadvantages. In this article, we talk about some of the top-performing small-cap mutual fund schemes.
What are small-cap mutual funds?
Small-cap mutual funds primarily invest their fund corpus in stocks of companies that fall below the top 250 companies as per the market capitalisation. Their performance is impacted by market fluctuations. Small-cap funds are associated with higher risk. In a bullish market, small-cap mutual fund schemes can generate substantial returns.
