What are Diversified Equity Mutual Funds?

Diversified Equity Funds are classified into various categories, based on the type of companies in which it initiates an investment. There are 3 main categories which are explained below:

1. Small Cap Diversified Funds - Small Cap Diversified Mutual Funds are characterized as high risk and high return funds. These funds are suitable for young investors - those who fall below 35 years of age. However, it is important that these funds are managed carefully, in order to prevent losses and ensure good returns.

1. Mid Cap Diversified Funds - Mid Cap Diversified Mutual Funds invest in companies with market capitalization worth Rs. 4000 Crores to Rs. 20,000 Crores. These funds are comparatively less riskier than small cap diversified mutual funds. If investment is made in the right mid cap funds, the investor has a high chance of earning absolute returns on investment.
2. Large Cap Diversified Funds - Large Cap Diversified Mutual Funds invest in companies with market capitalization worth Rs. 20,000 Crore and above. Generally, the investment is made in shares of popular blue chip companies. Nifty is the index which is used as a benchmark by large cap diversified equity mutual funds. Since investment is made in high ranking companies with good capital worth, the risk probability is very low.
