Introduction

Most mutual fund investors are concerned about the uncertainties of the market. It is difficult to determine which is better - large caps, mid caps, or small caps. Moreover, when the market sentiment changes, understanding if it is the right time to switch from one category to another isn’t easy. If you’re struggling with the same investing problems, make flexi-cap mutual funds your ally. 

What are flexi-cap funds?

Flexi-cap funds are a distinct type of mutual funds that allow you to explore different market sizes. Due to this flexibility, you can make switches in the portfolio based on market mood changes. You can invest in stocks across market capitalisation. 

Flexi-cap funds aim to achieve long-term capital appreciation by maintaining a diversified portfolio. They are attractive for investors seeking higher returns than large-cap funds but safer than the fluctuations of small-cap and mid-cap funds.  

Advantages of flexi-cap funds

Some benefits of investing in flexi-cap funds are:

  • You have exposure to stocks of different sizes and sectors. As a result, you can diversify your holdings, mitigate risks, and make returns less volatile. 
  • Flexi-cap mutual fund schemes can adjust to short and long-term changes in market trends. 
  • With investments in all kinds of securities, the level of risk reduces, and the level of returns over the years balances out. 
  • They are suitable for long-term goals with an investment tenure of 5 to 7 years.
