Is it advisable to invest in small-cap and mid-cap funds through SIPs?

Dhirendra Kumar says how to invest in mid-cap and small-cap funds and how to monitor them

07-Mar-2017 •Research Desk

I have got 6 funds of which four are large and multi-cap funds. And I am continuing my SIP in those funds. The other two funds are BNP Paribas Midcap and Sundaram Select Midcap in which I have a lump sum of Rs 2-3 lakhs. The amount keep fluctuating frequently according to the market. So, should I invest in these 2 funds also through SIP. And, do these small-cap and mid-cap funds require more monitoring?
