About the Fund
Kotak Small Cap Fund is a mutual fund scheme that invests in stocks of small companies. Small cap firms generally have a market cap of below Rs 5,000 crore and have companies that might have large growth potential but also come with significant risk as they are more susceptible to macro economic changes.Since small-cap companies are relatively lesser-known and are considered as high-risk investments. Nesco, Thyrocare, Delta Corp are examples of small cap firms.While some small cap stocks do provide the opportunity to earn bumper returns, it's important to note that investing in small-cap stocks comes with higher risks, as these companies are more vulnerable to economic downturns and market fluctuations, making investing in this fund suitable to investors who have a higher risk taking ability.
