17 hours ago 24

Small cap Mutual fund: When choosing a mutual fund, returns are usually the first thing investors look at. It is natural, and also it is the first thing that comes to an investor's notice. When you see a fund that has delivered the highest returns in one or two years, it may immediately catch your eye. However, that approach could be misleading. Markets don’t move in a straight line, and a fund that looks impressive today may not hold up over time. What matters more is how consistently a fund has delivered returns across different market cycles.
