Multi-cap mutual funds are diversified equity mutual funds which invest at least 25% of their portfolio in equity securities of companies in each market capitalisation.
Allocation in small, mid and large-cap equity securities
High risk-return trade-off
Suitable for investors with a long-term investment horizon
Invest through SIPs or lump sum
Earn tax-free returns up to Rs.1 lakh if you stay invested
Market capitalisation means the total value of a company’s shares
The total number of listed shares is considered for calculation
The current market value is taken to calculate the market cap
Formula -
Market capitalisation = total number of outstanding shares X current market value per share
These funds primarily invest in large-cap stocks and secondary focus is on small-cap and mid-cap stocks. These are relatively safer as they avoid the volatility of small-cap and mid-cap stocks.
These are funds that focus highly on small-cap or mid-cap stocks and try to make the most of their growth potential. Meanwhile, the large-cap part is only a cushion against volatility.
These funds pick and choose investments across market capitalisations while focusing only on the potential of these stocks to outperform and provide you with considerable returns.
A long-term investment horizon is suitable
You can invest for 5 years or above for attractive returns
You also get a tax benefit on staying invested for a longer tenure
Returns up to Rs.1 lakh are tax-free if you stay invested for 12 or more months
Returns exceeding Rs.1 lakh are taxed at 10%
For redemption within 12 months, returns are taxed at 15%
Dividends earned, if any, are taxed at your income tax slab
Earn dividends on your investment at regular intervals
Accumulate the returns over the investment tenure and get a lump sum amount on redemption
Since multi-cap funds are equity investments, they have the potential to be volatile in the short run. If you plan to invest long-term, the risk decreases significantly.
Multi-cap funds are equity investments that perform better in the long run. It is generally advised to stay invested in them for 5-6 years to reap better benefits.
• First-time Investors: A first-time investment should ideally bring enough of a sense of security and safety along with the shining potential of returns. Multi-cap funds can provide the right balance for your initiation.
• Investors in a dilemma: If you are confused as to the market capitalisation you should invest in, multi-cap funds are your go-to, as they will provide you with a balanced, all-round experience across market caps.
• Investors with a long-term investment horizon: If you stay invested for 5+ years in multi-cap funds, the benefits of compounding could serve you well. If this horizon aligns with your financial goals, multi-cap funds are for you.
• Investors seeking mid and small-cap exposure without taking too much risk: With any kind of concentration, multi-cap funds offer you a minimum cushion of large-cap funds
against the volatility of mid-cap and small-cap funds
.
Multi-cap funds maintain a diverse mix, including small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap companies. Flexi-cap funds, on the other hand, are known as open-ended, dynamic equity funds without any market capitalisation mandate.
Like all equity investments, the suitability of both these funds is subjective. Multi-cap funds with greater mid-cap and small-cap components suit investors with an investment horizon of 5-7 years and high-risk appetite. Meanwhile, flexi-cap funds focusing on large-caps suit investors with a similar horizon but a lower risk appetite due to lower market volatility risk.
You can invest in multi-cap funds either through SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) or a lumpsum amount or a lumpsum amount. You can start your SIP at as low as ₹100. However, please confirm the specific minimum investment limit with your fund house.
