18 Aug
Summary
- Small-cap funds attracted nearly ₹25,200 crore in the first four months of FY27.

- Large-cap funds attracted significantly less capital, indicating a shift in investor preference.
Investors are increasingly favoring small-cap and mid-cap stocks over large-cap equities in the current fiscal year, driven by improving earnings and market liquidity. In the first four months of FY27, small-cap funds attracted nearly ₹25,200 crore, almost half of the total invested in FY26. Mid-cap funds garnered ₹23,218 crore during the same period, representing substantial investor interest.
In contrast, large-cap funds attracted a mere ₹4,863 crore in the first four months of FY27. This trend suggests a growing investor appetite for risk, as small and mid-cap stocks are inherently more volatile. The BSE 250 SmallCap Index rose 6.8% and the BSE 150 MidCap Index gained 9.4% over the past 12 months, while the BSE Sensex fell 4.4% and the BSE 100 Index remained flat.
