Fund characteristics
A multi-cap fund is a type of mutual fund that invests across various market capitalisations-large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks. It is required by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) guidelines to allocate a minimum of 25 per cent of its assets to each of these market cap categories.
