Navin Fluorine, Amber Enterprises, and more: Top stocks giving succor to small-cap MFs in current market crash

Table of Content


Domestic equity mutual funds have witnessed significant declines over the past five months, mirroring the downturn in equity markets. Persistent selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), rising geopolitical tensions, market valuations, and subdued corporate earnings, has created an environment of uncertainty. This has led to a broad-based correction in equity mutual fund schemes, with some declining by as much as 30 per cent from their peak on September 26, 2024.

Schemes that adopted aggressive investment strategies, such as momentum investing and high-conviction bets, were particularly hard hit. Small-cap funds were the most affected, among equity categories. For example, over the past five months, major mutual fund categories like large-cap, mid-cap, and flexi-cap funds delivered returns of -16 per cent, -19 per cent, and -17 per cent, respectively, while small-cap funds saw a sharper decline of -20 per cent.
