Things to Consider as an Investor
1. Fund Objectives
Multi cap funds aim to achieve wealth accumulation by investing in stocks of companies which offer the best combination of high growth, risk, and value. The stock picking is based on investing style which can be Value investing or growth investing. Additionally, the fund manager may consider other quantitative measures like P/E (Price / Earning) ratio, P/B (Price / Book) Ratio, EPS and Enterprise value to ensure that the portfolio is composed of only quality stocks.
2. Risk
Like other equity funds, multi cap funds also face the market risk wherein an overall rise or fall in the value of the index leads to a fluctuation in the fund value. Such volatility is higher than that experienced by Large cap funds but lower than small cap/mid cap funds. The fund manager is skilled at regularly modifying the asset allocation in order to take advantage of market movements.
3. Cost
Multi cap funds charge an expense ratio to manage your money. Till now SEBI had mandated the upper limit of expense ratio to be 2.50% (Might Change time to time as per regulation). As these funds are actively-managed to harness gains from market opportunities, it might have a higher turnover ratio and associated transaction costs. Compared to pure large caps/small caps, multi cap funds may have a higher expense ratio. However, the quantum of gains made by multi caps are good enough to compensate for high costs.
4. Investment Horizon
Multi cap fund are basically suitable for individuals who have a medium to long-term investment horizon. Usually, the fund experiences a lot of fluctuations during the short-run which averages out over the long-run. Those who choose multi cap funds need to be prepared to stick around at least for the said period to enable the fund to realise its full potential.
5. Financial Goals
Multi cap funds can be ideal wealth creators as compared to plain large cap funds. Because of a dynamic investment strategy, these funds may accumulate larger wealth for achieving long-term Financial goals like children’s higher education or Retirement planning. Being a high risk-high return haven, these funds are capable of generating enough wealth which may help you to retire early and pursue your passion in life.
