Equity Oriented Funds Types
There are various types of equity mutual funds such as Large cap funds, mid & Small cap funds, Diversified Funds, sector funds, etc. These funds come with different investment objectives & risk. Since, equity funds invest in stocks/shares they can be highly risky. So, investors who can Handle the risk of equities should only prefer investing in these funds. Ideally, equities are meant for long-term plan. To get the best results, investors should preferably investing in equities for more than 5 years. The various types of equity funds are as follows:
Large Cap Funds
These funds invest major of its corpus with companies of large market capitalization. These are essentially large companies with large businesses with big team size. The market cap of such companies is more than 1000 Cr. Large cap funds, also known as blue-chip funds, invest in those companies that have the potential of showing year on year steady growth and profits. This, in turn, offers stability to the investors in the long-run.
Mid & Small Cap Funds
These funds invest in the shares of the most emerging companies in India. The market caps of mid-cap companies are around 500-1000 Cr and the market cap of small-cap companies could be more around 100-500 Cr. These funds are riskier than large-cap funds. That’s why is it suggested that the investing period of both mid & small caps should be much higher than large-caps. If the companies of these funds perform well in the long run, then it could make good profits to the investors.
Diversified Funds
Diversified funds invest across all three market capitalizations, i.e., across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap funds. They typically invest anywhere between 40–60% in large-cap stocks, 10–40% in mid-cap stocks and about 10% in small-cap stocks. Sometimes, the exposure to small-caps may be very small or none at all. It is said that a diversified fund tends to balance out the risk in the portfolio. For instance, if one fund fails to perform, others are there to balance the returns in the portfolio. But, being an equity fund, the risk still remains in the investment.
Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS)
ELSS is the tax savings scheme, where investors can save their Taxes under Section 80C of the income tax Act. One can claim the tax Deduction of up to INR 1,50,000 from their taxable Income. ELSS comes with the shortest lock-in of three years. Also, the fund offers the twin advantage of Capital gains and tax benefits, that’s one can also earn returns from their investments in ELSS.
Sector Funds and Thematic Funds
Sector funds invest in stocks of companies that trade in a particular sector or industry, for example- a pharma fund would invest only in pharmaceutical companies. Thematic funds can be across a wider sector than just keep a very narrow focus, for example, media and entertainment. In this theme, the Fund can invest in various companies across publishing, online, media or broadcasting. The risks with thematic funds are the highest since there is virtually very little diversification.
International Funds
