Mutual Fund SIP calculation: Small Cap funds have emerged as one of the most popular mutual fund categories for investors seeking very high returns over the long term. And most of the small-cap funds have not disappointed investors by giving over 17% returns under their direct plans. However, five top-performing small-cap funds have given over 22% returns under their direct plans.

Data on the website of the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) at the time of writing on July 11 shows that direct plans of as many as five small-cap funds have given more than 22% annualised returns to investors in 10 years. The regular plans of these funds have also given over 21% returns in 10 years.

The Mutual Fund SIP calculator shows that if a person had started a SIP of Rs 5000 in the direct plan of any of these five schemes 10 years back, his/her investments would have grown to at least Rs 22.5 lakh (at 22% annualised returns). SIP of Rs 5000 in the direct plan of the top-performing scheme in the small-cap category in 10 years would have grown to approx Rs 35.6 lakh (at 29.2% annualised returns). That said, the following is the list of five such small-cap funds.
