Small-cap stocks: Riskier, yes, but if picked well, risk-reward ratio favours risk-takers; 6 small-caps with upside potential of up to 45%

The Q3 earnings season is likely to provide some positive surprises as it will reflect the full impact of the GST rate rejig and the softer interest rates. This may well see the bulls make a comeback. And when the bulls are out in force, retail investors start flocking to small-caps. Now, small-caps have an inherent risk which is technical in nature. But they do provide better returns if you pick the right ones. So, while being bullish, remember to be selective about your choices – and to tread cautiously.
