How Flexi-cap fund works
The manager can change the size mix within the scheme mandate, so two flexi-cap funds may behave differently. The flexible label does not ensure timely market calls or automatic downside protection.
An example
A fund holding 70% large cap today may later raise mid- and small-cap exposure, changing volatility even though its category name remains the same.
Why it matters for your family
Families should inspect the dated market-cap mix and concentration rather than assuming every flexi-cap fund provides the same diversification.
