Frequently Asked Questions
What are equity mutual funds?
Equity mutual funds are schemes that invest primarily in stocks of listed companies. They are managed by professional fund managers who pick stocks based on research and market analysis. These funds are suitable for investors looking for long-term capital appreciation and are willing to accept higher volatility compared to debt or hybrid funds.
What is the difference between large cap, mid cap, and small cap funds?
Large cap funds invest in the top 100 companies by market capitalisation — these are well-established businesses with relatively stable returns. Mid cap funds target companies ranked 101 to 250, offering a balance of growth and risk. Small cap funds invest in companies ranked below 250, which carry higher risk but also the potential for outsized returns over the long term.
How do I choose the right equity mutual fund?
Start by defining your investment horizon and risk tolerance. For stability, look at large cap or flexi cap funds. For aggressive growth over 7+ years, mid cap or small cap funds may work well. Compare expense ratios, historical returns across 1Y, 3Y and 5Y periods, fund manager track record, and AUM. A diversified approach across categories often works best.
