Mutual Fund Assessor's ML scoring engine evaluates funds on returns (1Y, 3Y, 5Y CAGR), risk-adjusted performance (Sharpe ratio), downside protection (max drawdown), cost efficiency (expense ratio), consistency, and AUM stability.

How risky are small cap funds?

Very. Falls of 50% or more have happened in past bear markets. Only commit money you can leave untouched for a decade, and expect a rough ride along the way.

Staggering entry through a SIP or STP helps because it averages your cost across the wild swings this category is known for, which reduces the risk of a bad single entry.

Should small caps be my main equity holding?

For most investors, no. They work better as a smaller satellite alongside a large cap, flexi cap, or index core that steadies the overall portfolio.
