Small- and mid-cap mutual funds open doors again, but should you invest?

Live Mint  

The doors are opening up and you may walk if you wish. On Monday, L&T Emerging Businesses Fund, a small-cap mutual fund, started to allow investors to invest lump sum as well as through systematic investment plans with no limits. Taking advantage of a continued correction in small- and mid-cap stocks, mutual fund houses are increasingly looking to invest in them at current market prices. A few mutual fund houses, over recent years, have increasingly stopped inflows in small- and mid-cap mutual funds, in cases where their size becomes bit large for them to manage. DSP Small Cap Fund first limited its inflows to ₹ 2 lakh per new SIP/STP instalment as well as for lump sum investments on 1 October 2014.
