Top 5 multicap mutual funds with highest SIP returns in 5 years: Rs 20,000 monthly SIP in No.1 fund has grown to Rs 29.22 lakh; know about others

Top 5 multicap SIP mutual funds in 5 years: An average equity mutual fund investor dreams of investing money in large-, mid-, and small-cap schemes. The reason for a diversified portfolio is to maintain stability and get high returns. They think that exposure to large-cap funds will provide them stability, investment in small caps can help them get high returns, and investing in mid caps can provide them both. But what if one gets the experience of all three in one. The mutual category that provides the taste of all three is known as the multicap. As per Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), a multicap category mutual fund needs to have at least 75 per cent of its investments in equity and equity-related instruments.

Of this 75 per cent allocation to equity, the portfolio must allocate at least 25 per cent of its assets to large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks.

Thus, the fund manager can allocate assets to all three caps and different sector companies.

Multicaps are likely to fare well in a rising market.

But there is a catch: 50 per cent of their allocation is in small- and mid-cap stocks, which are market-volatile.

So, multicap mutual funds are not ideal for short-term investors.

They are suitable for investors with at least 5-7 years of investment horizon.

As per Value Research, the multicap category has soared by 48.87 per cent in the one year and 23.29 per cent in the three-year time frame.
