Who Should Invest in Mid Cap Funds?

Long-Term Investors
While mid-cap funds may experience volatility in the short term, they can deliver strong returns over a longer period because mid-cap companies can take time to grow requiring patience from investors. These funds are suitable for investors with a 5-7-year investment horizon.
Investors With High-Risk High-Return Mindset
Investors who are comfortable with a high level of risk and can handle market fluctuations might find mid-cap funds appealing. While these funds tend to be more volatile than large-cap funds, they also have the potential for higher returns.

Why Should You Invest in Mid Cap Funds?

High Return Potential
Mid-cap funds invest in companies that are often in an expansion phase. As a result, these funds have scope to offer higher returns compared to large-cap funds that invest in more mature companies.
Balanced Risk and Reward
Mid-cap mutual funds have an attractive risk-return profile, as they offer growth scope that’s less risky than small-cap funds. These funds strike the right balance between higher volatility of small-cap stocks and relative stability of large-cap stocks.

Risks Involved With Investing In Mid Cap Funds

Higher Volatility
Mid-cap stocks can be more volatile than large-cap stocks. Their prices may fluctuate more dramatically due to factors like market conditions and company performance, leading to higher short-term risk.
Financial Stability
Mid-cap companies may not have the financial robustness of large-cap firms. Due to this mid-cap funds may see sharp falls during periods of economic downturn and underperform large-cap funds.
Liquidity Risks
Investments in mid-cap funds can face liquidity risks during market crashes, as it may be challenging to find buyers. This is because, during uncertain times, investors often prefer to stick with stable options like large-cap funds.

Taxation of Mid Cap Funds

Since taxes impact return on investment, it’s crucial to understand how mid-cap mutual funds are taxed. Returns from mid-cap mutual funds are classified as capital gains, with the tax rate depending on the holding period.

Short-term Capital Gains Tax
If you redeem your mid-cap funds in a year, these gains are known as short-term capital gains. They are taxed at 20%.
Long-term Capital Gains Tax
If you redeem your mid-cap mutual funds after a year, then gains are known as long-term capital gains. They attract a tax rate of 12.5% on gains over ₹1.25 lakh. You don’t have to pay any taxes on gains up to ₹1.25 lakh.
