Small Cap Mutual Funds are equity schemes, which predominantly invest in small companies. Small cap funds have done very well and have given a bumper return of around 63.17% in three years. As per the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), a small cap fund must have at least 65 per cent presence of small cap companies in its portfolio. Small cap companies are those which are more than 250 in terms of total market capitalisation. AMFI or SEBI updates the list of market cap.

In terms of risk-return, small cap funds carry the highest investment risk. There is a lot of volatility in small cap shares. When the market environment is good, they give excellent returns. But when the situation is not good, then a big decline is also seen in them. So, when you invest in small cap funds, you should be prepared to deal with short term headwinds and not panic.
