Is it Safe to Invest in Small Cap Mutual Funds for Long Term?
Before investing in the small cap mutual funds, it is important to understand the risks that are involved:
-
High Volatility
As small cap funds largely invest their portfolio in small cap stocks that have very low traded volume. Therefore, any changing factors like market sentiments, company performance, economic condition creates high buying volume or high selling volume that fluctuate stock prices very rapidly. That is why small cap stocks have higher volatility than large cap-stocks. Hence, the small cap fund NAV (Net Asset Value) price always shows the same kind of volatility.
-
Higher Drawdown or Fall
During every market crash or correction small cap stocks tend to fall very sharply. So investing can cause more significant declines compared to larger companies. Investors should be prepared for potential losses during these periods.
-
Liquidity Risk
Investing in small cap funds carries liquidity risk, where buying or selling shares can affect the price of your mutual funds investment due to lower trading volumes and fewer market participants. This can result in bigger differences between buying and selling prices and make it harder to buy or sell shares, especially when the market is unpredictable.
