5 High Rated & Top Performing Small-Cap Funds To Plan SIP In 2021

|

The small cap fund category has delivered extremely high returns in the previous year, making small-cap funds a viable option for solid risk-adjusted alpha if you stay invested for at least 5 to 7 years. The concern with small caps is that they are more volatile than large caps or midcaps, which might result in a significant downside in the short-term. Small-cap funds, on the other hand, have a track record of outperforming other sectors or funds especially large-cap over time. While we're on the subject of small-cap funds, we'd like to advise our readers and investors that these funds are suited for aggressive investors, while risk-averse investors should avoid them. We've selected the top 5 equity small-cap funds based on last year's performance as a piece of information rather than a recommendation to invest.
