Smallcap mutual funds are the funds that invest in small-sized companies. These companies have a market capitalisation of less than Rs 5,000 crore. These funds are appropriate for investors with a long-term view and a high risk tolerance since they offer tremendous growth potential from developing companies, but they also carry higher risk and volatility because of the instability of smaller, younger companies. Smallcap mutual funds allocate a minimum of 65 per cent of their assets to smallcap companies.
