Small, midcap funds remain MF investors' top choice

Even as net flows into smallcap funds in March turned negative, for the first time in 30 months, they remained a big draw for new investors. The smallcap fund category saw a net of 360,000 investment accounts, or folios, getting added last month, the second-most among all active equity categories.

Smallcap funds' continued traction could be driven by their strong performance across timeframes, say experts. Small and midcap schemes dominate the top-performing fund lists, especially in the five-year and 10-year timeframes. Sectoral and thematic fund category, which has six times more schemes than the smallcap fund space, led the race with 817,000 folio additions in March.
