21 small-cap funds deliver over 15% returns in six months

Small-cap funds are savings boxes that hold shares of smaller companies.

Lately, many of these boxes have grown quickly in value.

Out of 59 small-cap funds, 21 grew by more than 15% in just six months.

If you put 100 rupees into one, you could end up with more than 115 rupees.

The Bank of India Small Cap Fund grew the most, at about 29%.

Shares of smaller companies are doing well because many people in India are putting their savings into them every month.

However, grown-up experts remind us that smaller-company shares can be bumpy and drop more than big-company shares.

In the past, they have often fallen by about 25% in a year before recovering.

That is why experts say you should keep investing for the long term and not chase quick gains.
