Best performing Flexi-cap fund!
Since last one year people are getting attracted to the equity market looking at returns it has delivered. Many of them are excited to commence their investment journey in the equity market but are afraid to invest directly due to a lack of adequate knowledge.
If this is the case, then one can start investing through mutual funds which are managed by professional fund managers. Mutual fund offers equity-oriented schemes which are further divided into various sub-categories according to risk appetite and investment objectives of an individual such as large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, etc. If an individual wish to take exposure of all market capitalization, then they can invest in flexi-cap or multi-cap funds. However, presently many mutual funds offering multi-cap schemes are converting to flexi-cap due to the freedom they get to invest in any market capitalization without any restrictions, unlike multi-cap funds.
