According to the Sebi mandate, small cap schemes must invest in companies that are ranked below 250 in terms of market capitalisation. These schemes also will have to invest at least 65% in small cap stocks. Small companies go through many ups and downs - more than the established companies in the large and mid cap segments.

Equity mutual fund categories in April had varying performances. Small cap funds led, while mid cap, contra, and multi cap funds also showed good results. Additionally, value funds and tax saving or ELSS funds performed well in the said period.

According to the Sebi mandate, large cap mutual funds are mandated to invest in top 100 companies by market capitalisation. Large companies fare better in a volatile market as these companies may be market leaders and resilient to downturns. That is why if you are looking for a relatively safer mutual fund category, you should consider investing in large cap funds.
