Imagine finding the hidden gems of the stock market—companies with immense growth potential. Small cap mutual funds offer you the chance to invest in the rising stars of tomorrow. Let’s explore how these funds can potentially transform your investment portfolio.
Small cap mutual funds invest in a diversified range of stocks from small companies, known as small cap stocks. Small cap companies are defined by market capitalization, with companies ranked below 250th considered small-cap. Small cap mutual funds primarily invest in these companies, aiming for long-term growth potential.
Small cap funds are highly sensitive to market volatility, making them a high-risk investment. However, they offer significant potential for high returns over the long term.
Small cap mutual funds also provide portfolio diversification by investing in companies across various sectors. These companies often have higher growth potential and may scale more quickly compared to mid-cap and large-cap firms.
