Mid Cap Funds: the growth middle ground

Mid-cap funds invest at least 65% in companies ranked 101–250 by market cap — tomorrow's potential large caps, today growing faster.

• Risk: meaningfully higher than large caps; sharp falls in downturns.
• Return: historically rewards patience over 7+ years.
• Liquidity: thinner than large caps, so manager skill matters more.

Suited to investors comfortable with volatility and a long horizon, ideally via SIP so you average through the swings. Equity taxation applies.
