A large number of retail investors are currently avoiding the direct route and instead opting for mutual funds in the mid-cap and small-cap segment. As a result, small-cap funds have garnered the maximum inflows among all equity categories in March (Rs 2,430 crore) and April (Rs 2,182 crore) 2023, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India.

Jain also points out that the majority of active funds in this category have beaten their benchmarks.
