The SBI Multicap Fund is an open-ended equity scheme investing across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks. Built for long-term capital growth, the fund holds a diversified portfolio and adheres to the multi-cap mandate set by SEBI.
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.
