Small cap mutual funds focus on small companies with high growth potential, which can lead to significant gains. These funds are more volatile and can have larger price swings, as small-cap stocks are more sensitive to market changes. Small cap funds are ideal for investors with a long-term outlook who can handle higher risk for the chance of larger returns. These funds provide exposure to the early stages of a company’s growth, making them attractive for aggressive investors. They are suited for those looking to diversify beyond established large and mid-sized companies.
