  • Potential to create higher alphas: Large cap funds invest at least 80% of their assets in large cap stocks (top 100 stocks by market capitalization). Large cap stocks have high percentage of institutional ownership, are more researched and therefore have better price discovery. In other words, market prices of large caps are closer to their fair valuation (due to more efficient price discovery) compared to midcaps and small caps which maybe trading at significant discounts to their intrinsic value. Flexicap fund managers may be able to find quality mid and small cap stocks at attractive valuations, thereby creating alpha for investors over long investment horizons.

Flexicap equity mutual funds generally have a higher level of risk compared to large-cap funds since they invest in midcap and small cap stocks in addition to large cap stocks. Mid-sized and small cap companies, while often having significantly higher growth potential than large companies, may also be more vulnerable to economic downturns due to their smaller size. Furthermore, the valuations of midcap and small cap companies tend to run up faster than large caps, and hence they can experience deeper price corrections in volatile markets. However, the risk profile of flexi cap funds is lower (less volatile) than midcap, small cap or multicap funds since they have the flexibility of increasing their large cap allocations in highly volatile markets. Investors should high to very high risk appetites for Flexicap Funds. Investors should carefully assess their risk tolerance, investment goals, and time horizon to make informed investment allocation decisions. Investors should consult with their financial advisors if they need help in understanding their risk appetite and risk characteristics of the mutual fund scheme they plan to invest in.
