The smallcap mutual funds are a type of funds that invest atleast 65 per cent of their assets in the smallcap companies whose market capitalisation is up to Rs 5,000 crore. SEBI defines small-cap companies as those that are ranked below the 250th rank in terms of market capitalisation. These stocks are highly sensitive and may be affected the most when the market slumps. As they are smallcap funds, their NAV is low (net asset value). This means you can buy more units.
