FAQs

If you are looking for higher returns in a shorter period, you should invest in small-cap funds. Small-cap funds usually invest in the stocks of smaller companies that respond severely to market dynamics. As a result, these funds are high-risk. In the shorter term, the volatility may cause you to sustain losses in small-cap; however, if the fund performs well, the returns are exponential.

Yes. Small-cap funds have low liquidity, making them unsuitable for investing in if you intend to improve your liquidity through investment. Additionally, small-cap funds are highly volatile and may cause you to sustain high losses if the market underperforms. It is best to carefully select the small-cap fund you wish to invest in and plan your investment in it.

You can begin investing in small cap funds online through websites like 5Paisa. These websites provide you with the right market analytics and information that helps you judge fund performance yourself and take a call for your investment.

You can also invest in the stock of small-cap companies by creating a Demat account; however, this method is riskier.

Experts believe that while small-cap funds are high-risk investments, you can invest in a few good small-cap funds for the long term instead of the short term. Long-term small cap funds can potentially outperform large and mid-cap funds, enabling you to get better returns and absorb market risks that tend to be highly effective to small cap.

On a long-term horizon, small-cap funds can perform better than other caps and give you great returns. With that said, on a 10-year timeline, you can dedicate 10% to 20% of your portfolio to small-cap funds, keeping the losses under control should the market become bearish.
