Investors, who are new to investments, can potentially consider multicap funds for their needs. A multicap fund invests at least 25% of its total capital in small-cap , mid-cap and large-cap stocks and at least 75% of the total capital is mandated to be invested in equities.
Let’s discuss some of the ways in which multicap funds can help new investors.
Consider inflation
The primary reason why investing can be an essential activity is due to inflation.
Inflation can potentially erode savings over time. This is because when inflation is present in the economy, goods and services will get costlier over time. This means that a person will be able to purchase fewer goods and services with the same amount of money in the future, compared to the present.
Investing in equities can be a way for investors to potentially preserve and aim for capital appreciation over time as it has the scope to match inflation.For new investors
The problem with investing is that it can be confusing and overwhelming for someone who is just starting out. For most of the new investors, it can be potentially beneficial to invest in a diverse group of stocks. A multicap fund invests in all three types of stocks classified on the basis of the m arket cap. It invests in small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap stocks. It is also required to invest at least 25% of the corpus in each market segment.
This way, a new investor can gain exposure to a diverse basket of stocks of different sizes and across many sectors in a single fund. Multicap funds thus could be beginner-friendly .
Less time and lower cost
Another roadblock to investing for millennials can be time and money. Millennials are busy and may not have the time to properly learn how to invest.
A multicap fund can be an option for a ‘#SochaSamjhaNivesh’ for new investors as they don’t have to pick equity stocks on their own and can potentially benefit from a multicap fund without spending the time to cherry-pick the equity stocks on their own.
A multicap fund may be a potentially good choice for investors, especially those who have just started investing. It provides exposure to a wide variety of companies of different sizes and from different sectors, helping spread out risk and aiming for long-term capital appreciation.
