WHAT ARE MULTICAP FUNDS? Multicap schemes, according to the norms set by market regulator Sebi, invest 25% each in large, mid and smallcap stocks, and the remaining at the fund manager’s discretion. Fund managers can choose stocks from any industry or sector meeting the market capitalisation requirements. Large-cap companies are ranked 1-100 by market capitalisation, midcaps between 101 and 250, and companies ranked beyond 250 are small-caps.

Lay investors often do not know when or how much to invest in large, mid-, or small-cap funds. If they invest only in large-cap schemes and small and mid-cap stocks rally, as often happens in the market, they will miss out on the gains. Hence, financial planners believe that in the long run, investors with a time horizon of upwards of 10 years could consider multi-cap funds, which identify investment opportunities across the entire market spectrum.
