5 small-cap funds top 20% annualised 10-year SIP returns

Small-cap mutual funds are a kind of investment that puts money into small companies.

People can invest in these funds regularly through a system called a SIP, or Systematic Investment Plan.

A report from Value Research looked at how these funds performed over many years.

It found that five small-cap funds earned more than 20% every year on average over 10 years.

That means people who stayed invested made a lot of money over time.

The Quant Small Cap Fund did the best over 10 years.

But the five-year rankings look different, with Bandhan Small Cap Fund on top.

Most of the new leading funds are too young to have 10-year results.

Only the Union Small Cap Fund stayed in the top five for all time periods.

This shows that fund performance can change with different market cycles.
