DSP Mutual Fund has launched a new open-ended multi-cap equity fund, DSP Multicap Fund, intending to generate long-term capital appreciation. The fund’s New Fund Offer (NFO) is open from January 8th to 22nd, 2024. There is no entry load, and the minimum subscription amount is Rs 100.
A Multicap fund is a type of mutual fund that invests in companies of all sizes, from large-cap (the biggest companies in the market) to mid-cap (medium-sized companies) to small-cap (the smallest companies). This diversification can help to reduce risk and provide investors with exposure to a wider range of growth potential. Multicap funds are a good option for investors who are looking for long-term capital appreciation and who are comfortable with a moderate level of risk.
The investment objective of the scheme is to seek to generate long-term capital appreciation from a portfolio of equity and equity-related securities across market capitalisation.

Multi-cap funds are well-suited for investors who find it challenging to navigate the complexities of individual stock selection and predict the performance of specific market capitalisations. These funds provide a solution by allowing fund managers the flexibility to adjust holdings among large, mid, and small-cap stocks based on market conditions. This adaptability makes multi-cap funds ideal for those seeking a diversified investment approach without the need to constantly monitor market cap biases.
Wealth managers often recommend these funds, particularly for investors utilizing systematic investment plans (SIP) with a long-term horizon of 10 years or more, providing a balanced exposure to different market segments. Investors need to stay committed for at least five years to ride out market cycles and benefit from potential growth
