What is a Flexi Cap fund?
A Flexi Cap fund is a diversified equity mutual fund that can invest across large cap, mid cap, and small cap stocks in any proportion. The fund manager has full flexibility to shift allocation based on market conditions, making it one of the most versatile fund categories.
Is Flexi Cap better than Large Cap for SIP?
For long-term SIP (10+ years), Flexi Cap tends to outperform pure Large Cap funds due to mid/small cap exposure. However, Flexi Cap is slightly more volatile. For most investors, Flexi Cap is the ideal 'one fund' SIP solution.
How much should I invest in Flexi Cap SIP?
Flexi Cap should form 30-50% of your equity portfolio. If your total SIP is ₹15,000/month, allocate ₹5,000-7,500 to a good Flexi Cap fund. It serves as the 'core' holding of your portfolio.
What is the difference between Flexi Cap and Multi Cap?
Multi Cap funds must mandatorily invest minimum 25% each in large, mid, and small caps. Flexi Cap has no such restriction — the fund manager can go 100% large cap or 100% small cap based on conviction. Flexi Cap offers more flexibility.
