![Changing Caps In The MF World](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/242/528090/5f75b4b4644ae/Changing-Caps-In-The-MF-World.jpg)
A recent decision by the securities regulator came as a mild earthquake for many in the mutual fund industry and a big surprise for millions of investors as multi cap funds are supposed to contain a mix of all three major categories - large, medium and small cap shares.
The bulk of the money in equity funds comes from ordinary investors because institutions and companies usually prefer debt funds. They are also those with the insufficient capability to assess a plethora of mutual fund schemes sold through high-pressure marketing and require a greater protection from the regulator. At stake are funds that are worth at least ₹35,000 crore.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) found that major Asset Management Companies (AMCs) were investing 70 to 80 per cent of funds in just one category - shares of large and influential companies - allocating very little to other categories. Many agree with the regulator that mutual fund companies are mislabelling the funds as multi cap and thus misleading investors.
“For a long time, I have felt shortchanged. I bought multi cap funds but my money was not invested in small and mid cap stocks that often stand a chance of high returns. Fund managers exhibited a clear bias for the big companies,” complains Maheshbhai Patel, an investor from Ahmedabad.

'Often Our Emotions Get The Best Of Us And Lead Us Astray'
Dan Ariely, author and professor of psychology and behavioural economics, at Duke University, North Carolina, the US, studies the irrational ways in which we all behave. In his own words, he “looks at people not from a rational perspective, but from the irrational perspective. We basically ask questions around what we are doing that is not in our long-term best interest”. In an interview with Nidhi Sinha, Editor, Outlook Money, as part of the Wealth Wizards series, he talks about himself, his signature half a beard, how people can deal with irrationality, and the role of emotions like misbelief, trust, and human motivation in how people behave or make decisions.
