During the FY 2021-2022, the inflows in the mutual fund & SIP industry have been magnificent, according to the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).

However, this month, the stock markets are not performing well, and investors should be more careful before selecting a mutual fund or SIP.

Small-cap and mid-cap mutual fund investment rationale
Small cap mutual funds invest in the small cap stocks listed in the equity markets. On the other hand, the mid cap mutual funds invest in the mid cap companies listed in the equity markets. Small cap stocks generally have a market capitalization of less than Rs. 5000 crore. The small cap mutual funds will choose stocks mostly from the small cap companies, however, they can have a marginal investment in the large cap and mid cap companies too. A small cap mutual fund can select all stocks except the largest 250 stocks depending on their market capitalization.
Mid cap mutual funds can select company stocks in the mid cap category. The mid cap stock will have a market capitalization of above Rs. 5,000 crore but less than Rs. 20,000 crore. These stocks will be ranked between 100 to 250 by their market capitalization. A mid cap mutual fund can invest in all stocks, but most of its investment should be in the mid cap category.
The large cap and mid cap companies are known to be less risky, while the small cap mutual funds can pose more risks regarding liquidity. So, investors should select the funds based on their risk appetite.
