Smallcap mutual funds corrected up to 5% as investors rebalanced, though sustained SIP inflows suggest continued optimism toward long-term equity exposure.
India’s smallcap mutual funds witnessed up to a 5% decline over the past quarter as investors trimmed exposure following sharp rallies. Analysts pointed to elevated valuations, fund manager caution, and partial profit booking in overheated segments. Despite near-term correction, SIP inflows in smallcap schemes remained resilient at over ₹2,000 crore monthly. Industry experts termed the decline a consolidation phase rather than a trend reversal. Portfolio managers remain optimistic about long-term returns given robust corporate earnings growth and retail appetite for diversification.
