Investing in Emerging Leaders Through Mid Cap Funds. Know How to Pick Your Mid Cap Fund

Mid-cap funds have been attracting substantial investor interest, especially in the last three years. The historical trends are proof that, in various quarters, mid-cap funds have outperformed small and even large-cap funds. And, this is true during fluctuating market conditions as well.

Anyway, a sure-shot way of diversifying your financial portfolio is by investing your corpus in varied types of mutual funds. For this, mid-caps are a great choice!

A quick recap on mid-cap funds

Mid-cap funds are a type of equity mutual funds that invest their majority corpus in stocks of mid-sized organisations. The companies that SEBI ranks between 101 to 250 (as per their market capitalisation) fall in the mid-cap gamut.

Mid-cap companies fall somewhere in between large and small-cap organisations and have an observed tendency to grow faster than large or blue-chip establishments. And, when they do, your mid-cap fund returns go up substantially.

How to pick your mid-cap fund?

Are you planning to include mid-cap mutual funds in your financial portfolio? Well then, here are 3 expert tips to guide you through the selection process:

Fix investment goals

Remember that mid-cap funds can offer exceptional returns, but they are also considered moderate to high-risk investments. This being said, they often tend to perform well if you have an extended investment horizon.

Simply put, the longer you stay invested in a mid-cap fund, the more profitable it is. Therefore, look for mid-cap funds that match your investment horizon perfectly. It can be 3 years or 5 years or longer, depending on the kind of commitment you’re willing to provide.

Check track record

A critical thing to check when selecting a mid-cap fund is its track record or historical performance. Be sure to look for rolling returns across different time durations to figure out how a fund is performing.

However, studying up so many values for just one fund can be overwhelming. So, look for the performance of a particular fund at the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year mark.

Study the market capture ratio

A fund’s market capture ratio is a critical metric, but it isn’t as talked about as it should be. However, we opine that you must study it before investing in a mid-cap mutual fund. The metric of market capture ratio informs investors about a fund’s performance, especially when the market was down and also up.

If you’re not a do-it-yourself investor who wants to invest in a mid-cap fund, quiz your fund manager about a fund’s market capture ratio before shortlisting it.
