Market uncertainties notwithstanding, Indian investors have pumped in around ₹11,500 crore into small-cap mutual funds since the start of the year.
This is despite small-cap stocks underperforming larger cap stocks on a year-to-date basis. Data from Value Research show that large-cap and mid-cap funds have on an average delivered 2.43% and 3.23% returns, respectively, since the start of the year, while small-cap funds are down 0.60%.
