3 Best Small-Cap Growth Mutual Funds for Great Returns
Read MoreHide Full Article
Risk-loving investors, who give precedence to capital appreciation over dividend payouts, may consider small-cap growth mutual funds to derive healthy returns. These funds focus on realizing an appreciable amount of capital growth by investing in stocks that are projected to rise in value over the long term.
Meanwhile, small-cap funds are good choices for investors seeking diversification across different sectors and companies. Small-cap funds generally invest in companies having market cap lower than $2 billion. The companies, smaller in size, offer growth potential and their market capitalization may increase subsequently. Also, due to their less international exposure, small-cap funds offer higher protection than their large and mid-cap counterparts in any global downturn.

The fund may also invest around one-tenth of its assets in securities of foreign companies, which are not traded in the U.S. OTC or on a U.S. exchange.Consulting Group Small-Mid Cap Equity has three-year annualized returns of 6.9%.
As of June 2017, TSGUX held 2,566 issues, with 2.36% of its assets invested in iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF.
