Motilal Oswal Multi Cap Fund is an open-ended equity scheme that invests across large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap companies. The fund aims to capture India’s long-term growth potential through high-quality businesses, a focused portfolio and Motilal Oswal AMC’s proven investment philosophy. By combining stability, growth and high-potential opportunities, the fund is suitable for investors looking for a structured multi-cap investment approach.

What Are Multi Cap Mutual Funds?

Multi-cap schemes, unlike single-category funds, provide stability in the large-caps, growth in the mid-caps, and extra return prospects in the small-caps.


Multi Cap Mutual Funds are diversified equity funds that give at least 25% each to large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks, as per the regulations of SEBI. With their separate structure, they are less risky than small-cap or mid-cap funds but have higher return potential than pure large-cap funds. In other words, multi-cap funds offer you the advantages of the three worlds – stability, growth, and high returns.
