Thanks for the love and support you show on the post about MUTUAL FUNDS: start your investment today So, this is the second part of the series. In this we will discuss the diffrent types of funds you can look forward to invest.
The large cap funds invest at least 80% of their corpus in the largest 100 companies in terms of market capitalisation. These schemes carry lower risk and offer modest returns.
These schemes invest across large-, mid- and small cap stocks. They are mandated to invest a minimum of 65% of their total assets in stocks. These schemes are ideal for investors with a moderate risk appetite.
These schemes are mandated to invest a minimum of 35% in both large cap as well as mid cap stocks. Due to their exposure to mid cap stocks, these schemes are considered risky. They are suitable for investors with high risk appetite.
These schemes predominantly invest in mid-sized companies. Mid cap funds invest at least 65% of their total assets in mid cap stocks. These schemes are risky and volatile. They are meant for aggressive investors
These schemes invest mostly in smaller companies. The small cap funds invest a minimum of 65% of total assets in smaller companies. Small companies can be extremely risky, but also have the potential to offer higher returns
This is a new category introduced by Sebi in the re-categorisation exercise in 2017. The schemes under this category invest in dividend yielding stocks or stocks that pay periodic dividends.
The schemes in this category follow the value style of investment. These schemes are mandated to maintain a 65% allocation in equities. Value investment style is where the fund manager bets on stocks that are undervalued.
These schemes follow the contrarian investment strategy and have a minimum 65% allocation to equities. In the contra style of investing, the fund manager takes a contrarian view.
ELSSs are tax-saving mutual fund schemes with a lock-in period of three years. Their minimum investment in equities should be 80% of the total assets.
