These small caps rocked investors world in 2021 so far

Retail investors have always taken a liking for small-cap investing. The small-cap universe has not disappointed all those betting on tiny treasures listed on the bourses. 

The small-cap index is up by 29.4 per cent on a YTD basis while in comparison, Sensex is up by only 6.01 per cent. The outperformance in the small-cap space can be seen clearly. The reason behind this is that the valuations are yet to reach their peak levels for small-caps even when Sensex is trading precariously close to its all-time highs. Also, there are plenty of opportunities in the small-cap space for seasoned stock pickers. The earnings have been outstanding for more than a dozen small-cap players, which is encouraging investors to bet big on them. 

Some of the small-caps have turned out to be multibaggers in 2021 already with Majesco Limited topping the list of the best small-cap performer of the year so far. Majesco gained 372 per cent while Adani Total Gas was not far behind as it clocked gains of 251 per cent.
