Portfolio

These funds have very high risk-return potential, as small companies soar and deliver multi-fold returns during rising markets. However, these stocks fall sharply and are the last to recover from steep market falls. The Nifty Smallcap 100 or the BSE Smallcap can be used as benchmarks to measure performance.
Smallcap funds suit investors with high risk appetites. The minimum period for which these funds need to be held is 5 years.
Short-term: Holding period is less than 12 months.
