UNDERSTANDINGSmall-Cap Mutual Funds

Small-cap mutual funds invest in smaller companies that are in their growth phase, focused on expansion and building market presence. These funds can be more volatile than their mid and large cap equivalents; however, they have significant long-term growth potential for those investors who have a longer investment horizon.

ADVANTAGES OFInvesting in Small-Cap Funds

Small-cap funds are generally suited for investors who are comfortable with higher risk in return for long-term growth potential. When used thoughtfully, they might strengthen portfolio balance and diversification.
