Unveiling the Best: Top Performing Multi-Cap Mutual Funds Over the Last 5 Years

Balancing Stability and Growth with Multicap Funds

Multicap mutual funds are designed to offer the best of both worlds by allocating investments across large, mid, and small-cap companies. This strategy provides a blend of stability and potential for growth, making them a favored choice for investors. The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) mandates that these funds keep at least 75% of their portfolio in equity and equity-related assets, allowing fund managers the flexibility to capitalize on market trends by adjusting their investments across different market capitalizations.

The multicap category has demonstrated remarkable performance, with a 42.28% CAGR over the past year and a 24.74% CAGR over the last five years. Below are the top-performing multicap funds over the last five years:
