What is a Small Cap Mutual Fund?

Small Cap equity funds invest in India's smallest companies. These companies are not among the top 250 and are generally unheard of in our daily lives. While small firms might provide tremendous profits, they are extremely volatile and can result in short to medium-term losses.

Benefits of Small Cap Funds

  • Benefit from investing early in firms that have the potential to be top enterprises in the future.
  • High-risk exposure because of a lack of financial ability to endure difficult market conditions.
  • Ideal for highly bold investors with a 7-year or longer investment period.

Small Cap Funds: How Do They Work?

Small Cap Equity Funds must invest at least 65% of their assets in equity stocks of small-cap firms, according to current SEBI criteria. Small-Cap firms are all listed companies with a market capitalization of less than the 250 largest corporations listed on Indian stock exchanges.

Small Cap Funds can deliver significantly high returns to investors because they are predominantly invested in relatively smaller companies. These funds, however, are subject to high volatility because the performance of Small Cap companies can be substantially impacted by shifting market conditions. To mitigate the possible impact of this volatility, investors can deploy a modest portion of their portfolio to Small Cap Equity Funds.

Who Should Consider Investing in Small Cap Funds?

Investors Seeking Long-Term Capital Growth

Small Cap Funds can be highly volatile in the short term. Thus, investors should only consider investing in these schemes if they plan to stay invested for at least seven years. Small Cap Funds have an unrivalled ability to provide high returns over long periods. However, due to the possibility of extreme volatility in returns, investors should restrict their exposure to these Equity Funds even over the long term.

High-Risk Investors

Tiny Cap Funds mainly invest in small publicly traded firms with the potential for rapid growth. As a result, the potential for these techniques to generate huge profits is unrivalled. However, this large exposure to smaller companies poses a significant risk because shifting market conditions can greatly impact their performance. Small Cap Funds are suited only for investors with a high-risk appetite due to their increased risk - potentially high return characteristics.

Taxation on Small Cap Funds:

Large Cap funds get similar tax treatment as other equity investments. Capital gains on the holding period of under a year are under short-term capital gains (STCG). These are taxed as 15% tax.
Gains made on investments held for over a year are labelled as long-term capital gains (LTCG). As per the current tax rate, there is no tax on LTCG till 1 lakh in a financial year. The amount surpassing this cutoff is taxed at 10% without indexation advantage.
