Flexi Cap Funds: go-anywhere equity

Flexi-cap funds can invest across large, mid and small caps in any proportion the manager chooses (minimum 65% equity). That flexibility lets a skilled manager shift toward whatever the market favours.

• Risk: usually between large and mid cap, depending on the manager's tilt.
• Why popular: one fund gives whole-market exposure — ideal for a core SIP.
• Manager-dependent: outcomes vary widely, so track record matters.

A strong default for most long-term investors who want a single diversified equity fund. Equity taxation applies.
