Want to become rich? This scheme has the potential to do just that; Check expert's tips to accumulate wealth

Every investor wants to become rich and that is the only purpose behind their investment. To generate a big profit from the money in their hand is the objective and that in turn may be to fulfill some particular goal - to buy a house, car or fund daughter's wedding and more. However, sometimes they come across some shocking revelation about their investments when they look at the maturity amount they get at the end. Yes, many times their money doe not generate much profit and there are instances of losses even! 

There are various reasons for this. This happens due to the lack of proper regulation of the mutual fund scheme they have invested in, and to some extent lack of awareness about the category and better performing schemes. 

Solution? For such investors, multi-cap mutual funds are a better option as it is a mix of small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap funds and one can diversify one's portfolio by investing in multi-cap mutual funds.

On how does it helps an investor when the stock market falls, Neeraj Chauhan, CEO at Financial Mall said, "Multi-cap funds are a mix of all equity mutual funds. Hence, when the stock market fells sharply, a mixture of all categories help an investor to some extent as large-cap and mid-cap funds fell lower in comparison to the small-cap funds." He said that multi-cap funds are better suited for the new entrant into the mutual fund investments as it gives the benefit of all equity categories of the mutual funds.
