Frequently Asked Questions

How are the best small cap funds ranked?

+
Funds are ranked by rolling return within the Small Cap SEBI sub-category. Only active Direct-Growth plans are shown — Regular plans and IDCW/Dividend options are excluded.

What percentage of my portfolio should be in Small Cap Funds?

+
Most advisors suggest keeping Small Cap Fund exposure to a smaller portion of your equity portfolio (commonly cited ranges are 10-20%) rather than a core holding, given their higher volatility and steeper drawdowns during corrections.

Do Small Cap Funds outperform Large Cap Funds?

+
Historically, Small Cap Funds have delivered higher returns than Large Cap Funds over some long-term periods, but this comes with much sharper swings — including multi-year stretches of underperformance. Past outperformance is not a guarantee of future results.

Should beginners invest in Small Cap Funds?

+
Most advisors recommend beginners start with Large Cap or Flexi Cap Funds to build comfort with equity market volatility before adding Small Cap Funds, given how sharply they can fall during market downturns.
