What are Multi Cap Mutual Funds?

These schemes offer the fund manager the freedom to invest across large-cap, midcap and small cap stocks or any sectors that he believes are going to benefit in the coming days. This means the investor need not worry about where the action is going to be or chasing the action or worry about missing out on rallies in some pockets of the market. Chances are that the multi-cap fund may have meaningful exposure to the segment already. Since the scheme also invests in mid or small-cap stocks, it is riskier than large-cap schemes that invest predominantly in very large companies. However, because of the exposure to mid and small cap stocks, multi-cap schemes are comparatively riskier and can also offer higher returns.
