The Mirae Asset Midcap Fund (MAMCF) is an open-ended equity scheme that predominantly invests in mid-cap companies (101st to 250th as per SEBI/AMFI market-cap classification). Launched on 29 July 2019, the fund seeks to capture the long-term growth potential of India’s expanding mid-cap segment.

Mid-cap companies often operate in the growth and early-maturity phases of the business lifecycle, offering higher scalability, improving profitability, and opportunities to become tomorrow’s large caps. This fund aims to benefit from such companies through intensive primary research, a strong GARP philosophy (Growth-At-Reasonable-Price), and disciplined risk management.

What is a Midcap Fund?

A midcap fund is an equity mutual fund that primarily invests in mid-sized companies — usually ranked between 101st to 250th by market capitalization in India. These companies are often in the growth stage, offering a balance between the stability of large caps and the high-risk/high-return potential of small caps.

Key Features of Midcap Funds:

  1. Ideal for those seeking wealth creation with moderate risk appetite
  2. Higher growth potential than large caps
  3. More volatility than large-cap funds, but lower than small caps
  4. Suitable for investors with medium-to-long-term horizons (5+ years)
