Over the past decade, five small-cap mutual funds delivered annualised SIP returns above 20%, with Quant Small Cap Fund leading at 25.92%, according to Value Research. The five-year picture is different: Bandhan Small Cap Fund topped with a 23.90% return, and a ₹10,000 monthly SIP in it grew to ₹10.35 lakh, the highest among peers. Only Union Small Cap Fund featured among the top five across three-, five- and 10-year periods. The gap between the best and worst funds was wide, showing how fund selection matters.
