What is Small Cap Stocks/Funds? — Meaning, Definition & Example
Definition
Small cap companies rank 251st and below by market capitalization (below ₹5,000 crore as per SEBI). They offer highest growth potential but also highest risk and volatility. Small cap funds must invest 65%+ in small caps. Only for investors with 7+ year horizon and high risk appetite.
A small cap stock bought at ₹50 might become ₹500 in 5 years (10x) or fall to ₹15 — that's the risk-reward of small caps.
