Updated on August 6, 2025 , 14139 views

Looking for Best Small Cap Funds? Nowadays, many investors are keen to invest in Small cap funds as they have substantial potential to grow into big enterprises. Small cap funds are a type of equity Mutual Fund that invests in stocks of small sized companies. These are firms with a Market capitalization (MC=no of shares issued by the company X market price per share) of less than INR 500 Crore. Their market capitalization is much lower than the large and mid-cap.

Small cap firms have the potential to generate good returns. Many small cap companies serve a niche market with sound consumer demand for their products and services. They also serve emerging industries with the potential for substantial future growth. However, the risks involved in it are very high. But, if you invest for a longer duration, the risks tend to lower down.

Investors who wish to invest in small cap funds, can choose the best performing small cap funds that are listed below based on past 5 year performances.
