Small cap stocks are the shares of companies that have a market capitalisation below INR 5,000 crore. Often, these companies have a high growth potential, but tend to be more volatile and riskier compared to large cap stocks. In favourable markets, small cap stocks can deliver impressive returns. However, they tend to react sharply to economic changes. Investors must carefully research and consider their risk tolerance before investing in small cap stocks.

Equity Delivery
In equity delivery, shares are delivered to an investor’s Demat account after the settlement period. That’s why it is called equity delivery. However, equity delivery is also known as delivery trading and long term investing.
For example, let’s say you place an order for 10 HDFC shares on Tuesday with a view of holding onto them for the long term. The trade will be settled on Thursday shortly after which the shares will be delivered to your Demat account.
