New age investors are having more risk appetite regarding their investment portfolios, and they are being attracted towards mutual funds and SIPs, than traditional investment instruments.
SIP Investment rationale and Flexi cap fund
Before choosing an SIP, you must check the portfolio of the fund, like the funds' equity holdings, fund size, expense ratio, previous years' returns, etc. This article will discuss a fund that has given around 100.45% SIP returns in the past 5 years, having a quality fund size. This is a Flexi-cap fund, which means the fund manager invests in multiple large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks, without any restrictions of the company or stocks' market capitalization spectrum. Hence, this fund will give you exposure to company stocks that have given good returns themselves previously. The large-cap and mid-cap stocks give more security or assurance. On the other hand, the small-cap funds can fetch better returns in the near-term, as these are expanding or developing company stocks.
