What is Multi cap fund

A Simple Guide to Multi-Cap Mutual Funds

by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Mutual Funds

Listen to this article


Investing in Multi-Cap Mutual Funds serves well for investors who are willing to take a risk and not go behind the guaranteed return.

According to Market Capitalization, Equity can be classified as Small-Cap, Mid-Cap, Large-Cap, and so on.

But some new investors often get confused with the Flexi-Cap and Multi-Cap categories of Mutual Funds. Because the functions of both mutual funds look similar.

It’s time that we understand the difference between the two categories of Mutual Funds.

Table of Contents:

1.) What is Multi-Cap Mutual Fund?

2.) What are the benefits of Multi-Cap Mutual Funds?

3.) How do we maximize our benefits in Multi-Cap Mutual Funds?

4.) Flexi Cap Fund Vs Multi Cap Fund:

5.) How do we know whether this Mutual Fund suits our investment portfolio?

6.) What is the tax liability of Multi-Cap Mutual Funds?

What is Multi-Cap Mutual Fund? 

In this category of a mutual fund, 75% of the asset has been invested in purchasing equity and equity-related instruments

These assets get invested across different categories of companies which would be beneficial for investors in a long run.

This Mutual Fund also helps investors to diversify their investment portfolio.

A multi-cap fund must invest a minimum of 25% in Large Cap, 25%in Mid Cap, and 25% in Small Cap stocks.

The remaining 25% is left to the choice of the fund manager. Based on his market outlook, the fund manager can decide where to invest the remaining asset.

What are the benefits of Multi-Cap Mutual Funds?

If you are an investor who is looking to diversify your investment portfolio by investing across market capitalization, then investing in a Multi-Cap mutual fund could be a good option for you.

The following are some of the key features of this Multi-Cap Mutual Fund.

  • It can invest across different categories of companies belonging to various sectors.
  • This Mutual Fund can generate an inflation-beating return in the long run.
  • The flexibility option enables us to maximize our return on investment.
  • It is less volatile and more stable in comparison with Small Cap Mutual Funds.

How do we maximize our benefits in Multi-Cap Mutual Funds?

Since it invests across multiple categories of equity stocks, as investors we can’t expect a stable return. 

It is highly beneficial for investors looking to achieve their long-term financial goals as it has the potential to generate an inflation-beating return in a long run.

Flexi Cap Fund Vs Multi Cap Fund:

How do we differentiate between Flexi-Cap & Multi Cap?

The functions of both Flexi Cap & Multi Cap are similar. But if you see closely, the features of both Mutual Funds are different.

If you choose to invest in Multi Cap Mutual Fund then the fund will invest a minimum of 25% in Small-Cap, 25% in Mid-Cap, and 25% in Large-Cap Mutual Funds.

The fund manager will be given the flexibility of investing the remaining 25% based on the current market condition.

But in Flexi-Cap Mutual Funds, 65% of the assets get invested across Large-Cap, Mid-Cap, and Small-Cap Mutual Funds.

Flexi-Caps could increase or decrease their share in a particular segment based on its performance and market condition at any given time.

So, in a flexicap fund, the fund manager has been given the flexibility of investing the entire money based on his market outlook.

How do we know whether this Mutual Fund suits our investment portfolio?

Here are a few factors you should consider before investing in this Multi-Cap Mutual Fund.

  • It poses a lesser risk in comparison to small-Cap Mutual Funds.
  • It gives a less stable return in comparison to Large –Cap Mutual Funds.
  • It is risky for investors looking to achieve Short Term Financial Goals.
  • The time horizon of this particular Mutual Fund is from 5 to 7 years.

What is the tax liability of Multi-Cap Mutual Funds?

Now let’s discuss the tax liability of this Multi-Cap Mutual Fund.

If the holding period is less than or equal to one year then it is termed as Short Term Capital Gain, which attracts a tax of 15% on the gain.

Whereas if the holding period is more than one year then it is called Long Term Capital Gain.

Suppose let us say that your Long Term Capital Gain is lower than 1 lakh, then your capital gain will be exempted from tax. 

If it exceeds more than I lakh then there will be a 10 % tax on your capital gain.

The video here will help you understand in depth the concept of Multi-Cap Mutual Funds.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
