While investing in equity mutual funds schemes, investors often ask which fund would suit the best to their investment objectives. For last few weeks we have been making posts for general understanding about the different market cap sizes of the companies. Multicap portfolios are the combination of the stocks of different market cap sizes. This week, let’s learn the characteristics of Multicap portfolios.
Freedom
Multicap portfolios are medium of investments where your equity mutual fund portfolio consists of different market cap stocks in one. Such portfolios allow the freedom to your scheme’s fund manager to pick up the stocks that suit the investment objectives irrespective of their market cap size. That means, your portfolio is less reliable on the market cap size. Multicap funds can be distinctly diversified throughout the market with a wider scope for growth and asset allocation.
Flexibility
Since flexibility is all that newbie investors look for, multicap mutual fund schemes are a good choice. Multicap funds offer flexibility for opportunities across the market. Expert fund managers find opportunities of growth across the market and implement the ideas without capital size restrictions. Lately, multicap funds have shown good performance with the positive changes in the economy. Multicap funds are generally considered favorite for the moderate risk taking investors.
Risk Regulator
In the process of wealth creation in equity, risk is bound inherently. Multicap funds give freedom from the capital sizes restriction. Novice young investors generally prefer multicap funds to invest while learning the markets. The risk in multicap funds is often mitigated in an easier way during the volatile situations. The ups and downs in sectorial or market cap size of a stock do not affect a good multicap fund. They are the risk regulators in your wealth creation journey.
Impact
Markets are unstable. The corrections may occur as per the market scenarios and they are highly impactful on your equity mutual fund portfolio. Multicap funds are typically designed to find higher growth opportunities in the rising markets. Positive economic changes may boost the performance of a good multicap portfolio and may also help reduce the negative impact in the bearish market.
Returns
An average investor finds it difficult to choose from largecap or midcap companies in the portfolio. Thus by evaluating and investing in a good mutual fund scheme, they can benefit in different market condition as stock selection decisions are made by expert fund managers. Keep in mind that the risk involved in multicap funds may change as they have a larger universe of stocks to choose from. Comparatively lesser number of stocks in portfolio with a wise diversification makes a good portfolio.
