From the above table, it is evident that this fund has really delivered a superlative return since its inception and even for last five years as well. This fund is an established fund in the category of small cap group. Though I would like to reiterate once again that past return does not guarantee that this fund would perform same in the future as well. It’s just an indication of fund’s previous performance and what the fund is really capable of.

Small cap fund basically invests in rising small cap companies which have lots of potentials to hit the growth target and thus has the tendency to beat your expectation to a great extent. But at the same time, it is very much volatile too. During the downturn period, it can bring your investment value much lower than your principal value. Those, who can bear this pain, are the real winner in the long run. This fund is not suitable at all for risk-averse investors. Those who can bear the hardship of volatility and have necessary patience, Best Small Cap Mutual Fund| Reliance Small Cap Fund is the perfect choice for them.  As I mentioned earlier, I am fond of this fund very much for its characteristics and the ability to fight back and beat the standards.
