Small-caps on big leaps: These MF favourites brave corrections to rise up to 113% in 6 months
So far this year, the Nifty Smallcap 100 has fallen by 22 percent; the Nifty 50 by 7 percent, Nifty Midcap 100 by 8 percent and Nifty Microcap 250 by 6 percent. But not all small-cap stocks lost money
This year’s stock market decline has hit small-cap stocks particularly hard. So far this year, the Nifty Smallcap 100 has fallen by 22 percent; the Nifty 50 by 7 percent, Nifty Midcap 100 by 8 percent and Nifty Microcap 250 by 6 percent. The war in Europe, accelerating inflation and increasing interest rates across economies, including India, and global supply chain disruptions spooked investors and triggered a selloff. But not all small-cap stocks lost money; a few gems held by actively managed mutual funds rose by as much as 113 percent in the last six months. Portfolio and price data as of June 30, 2022.
