Multi-Cap Funds Outperform Flexi-Cap Funds with Fixed Market-Cap Allocations
Multi-cap mutual funds, regulated by Sebi to invest at least 25% each in large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks, have outperformed flexi-cap funds over 1, 3, and 5 years, according to Value Research data as of June 2026. This fixed allocation ensures diversified exposure across market segments, capturing growth in mid- and small-caps alongside large-cap stability. Flexi-cap funds offer managers full discretion to adjust allocations, often favoring large caps, which may limit returns during broader market rallies. Both fund types' performance also depends on stock selection and portfolio strategies.
