Flexi Cap Funds are adjustable equity mutual funds that invest in any of the market cap segments, such as large-cap, mid-cap, or small-cap companies. It offers flexibility to the fund managers to invest in stocks of any of these companies across different sectors and market caps. For example, suppose a fund manager allocates the invested amount in a particular market sector. After a period, it is observed that there is a plunge in the performance due to market conditions. In such a scenario, the fund manager can change the fund allocation to some other sector that is performing well. In this manner, investors can benefit from the best performing stocks but also, at the same time, reduce the risk by exiting the low-performing stocks. On that note, let’s explore the top 5 flexi cap funds with the highest returns in 5 years.
