Best Performing Small-Cap Mutual Funds in 1 year (till August 7, 2023): While Small Cap mutual fund schemes continue to attract investors, not all of them manage to beat their respective benchmark indices.

As per data on the website of the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), most of the small-cap funds have given over 20% annualised returns in 1 year.

However, only 8 small-cap schemes have been able to beat the index under the direct plan and only five of them have done so under the regular plan in 1 year.

As many as 15 small-cap funds have failed to beat their benchmark indices in one year under both direct and regular plans. While most of the schemes have given over 20% returns, one low-performing fund has given just 14.39% return in 1 year. Following is a list of the 8 top-performing small-cap funds in 1 year, as per AMFI website data tracked till August 7, 2023
