Flexi-Cap vs. Multi-Cap Mutual Funds:

Choosing the Right Mutual Fund Structure

Many mutual fund investors get confused between Multi-Cap and Flexi-Cap schemes. While they sound similar, their investment mandates are significantly different under SEBI rules.

What is the main difference between Multi-Cap and Flexi-Cap funds?

Multi-Cap funds are legally mandated to invest a minimum of 25% each in Large-cap, Mid-cap, and Small-cap stocks. Flexi-Cap funds have no such limits and the fund manager can dynamically shift assets across any market cap based on trends.

Which fits your portfolio?

  • Multi-Cap: Best for aggressive investors looking for guaranteed mid-and-small-cap exposure over the long run.
  • Flexi-Cap: Best for moderate investors who want a professional fund manager to manage market cap risk during downturns.
