Factors to be Considered before investing into Multi-Cap Fund
A multi-cap fund makes investments in stocks and securities linked to stocks of firms with a range of market capitalizations. In addition, the fund management is always searching for ways to diversify the investment in order to meet the scheme's goals. As a result, the fund management is essential to the success of these plans. You may wish to look at the fund manager's track record of success across different schemes before making an investment. You also need to consider how he has handled market ups and downs while managing the multi-cap fund.
In order to guarantee diversity, it is crucial for investors to evaluate the fund's portfolio concentration. Your portfolio runs the danger of being overexposed to one industry if, for instance, the fund manager is bullish on the IT sector and allocates a bigger percentage of the corpus to small-, mid-, and large-cap stocks of these businesses.
When you redeem your Multi Cap Fund units, the capital gains made by you are subject to Capital gains Tax. Also, any dividend received by you is subject to Dividend Distribution Tax or DDT.
All fund houses are mandated to deduct tax (DDT) of 10% before paying out dividends to unitholders.
