MUTUAL FUND CATEGORY
Small cap funds invest in emerging companies with high growth potential, suitable for investors with long-term vision and higher risk appetite.
Small-cap equity funds invest mainly in companies with small market capitalization. These companies are often in early stages of growth and development with significant potential for future expansion.
Such companies may operate in niche markets, follow innovative business models or offer unique products and services. Small-cap funds allow investors to participate in the early growth journey of these businesses.
However, small-cap stocks generally carry higher risk due to lower liquidity, limited resources and higher market volatility compared to large-cap and mid-cap stocks.
