Most Indian investors hold regular plan mutual funds — invested through a distributor or bank. CRN India now tracks 1,700+ active regular plan funds across all categories with daily NAV updates and returns from 1 day to 10 years.
Filter by AMC, category, or sort by any return period to instantly find how your fund ranks among its peers. Data sourced daily from AMFI — free, no login required.
Small cap companies — those ranked below the top 250 by market cap — are India's growth engine. They are where the next Titan, Bajaj Finance or Page Industries were once hiding. For patient, long-term investors, small cap mutual funds offer the highest wealth-creation potential in any asset class.
But they also carry significant risk, volatility and require a minimum 7–10 year horizon. CRN India gives you the research and knowledge to decide if small cap is right for you — and if so, how to invest wisely.
