A flexi cap mutual fund invests in stocks of companies across market capitalizations – large cap, mid cap and small cap. This can help the fund potentially leverage the growth opportunities offered by small and mid cap companies while benefiting from the relative stability of large cap companies.
There is no minimum allocation required in each market capitalization, so the fund manager is free to plan the flexi cap fund investment portfolio as per their growth strategy, market knowledge and insights.
Moreover, the fund manager can dynamically alter the allocation strategy for the flexi cap fund investment based on prevailing market trends. This can potentially help the fund mitigate downside risk or capitalize on segments that are performing well.
Investors who seek long-term capital appreciation and have a high risk-appetite can potentially invest in flexi cap funds. You can invest in Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund either in lumpsum or through SIP, depending on your financial goals and investment strategy.
What makes Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund different?
Megatrends are long-term structural shifts that evolve gradually and have the potential shape economies, businesses, and societies for years to come. Such shifts may drive fundamental changes in how industries and countries operate and grow.
The Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund focuses on the following T.R.E.N.D.S:
- Technology: Digitisation, automation, and technology-led transformation are reshaping how businesses deliver products and services. Companies that champion innovation or show agility in adapting to these changes may tap into long-term growth opportunities.
- Regulatory: Government initiatives such as ‘Make in India’ and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) are supporting domestic manufacturing and may create potential opportunities across sectors.
- Economic: India’s growing financialisation, rising consumption, and infrastructure expansion are structural drivers that may influence long-term growth potential.
- Nature: Sustainability, clean energy, and environmentally conscious practices are gaining importance. Businesses aligning with these priorities may be positioned to grow in line with evolving consumer and regulatory priorities.
- Demographic: With a young population, rising income levels, and changing rural–urban dynamics, India’s demography has the potential to shape fresh demand patterns across industries.
- Social: Trends such as health and wellness awareness, rapid urbanisation, and shifting consumer lifestyles are influencing the way people consume goods and services.
Through the lens of these trends, the fund seeks to identify sectors and businesses that may be aligned with these long-term transformations. Combined with the flexibility to invest across large, mid, and small cap companies, the fund seeks to build a diversified portfolio aligned with India’s evolving growth story.
Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund - Regular and Direct Plans
When you invest in any mutual fund, including the Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund, you have two plans: Direct Plan and Regular Plan.
-
Direct Plan: You invest directly with the Bajaj Finserv AMC, without involving any intermediaries or distributors. As a result, there’s no commission or distribution fee involved, which means the expense ratio is lower and your potential returns could be slightly higher over the long term.
-
Regular Plan: This option involves a distributor who helps you with the investment. The mutual fund company pays a commission to the distributor, which is included in the plan’s expense ratio. That’s why regular plans usually have slightly higher costs compared to direct plans.
In short, the main difference is how you invest – on your own (Direct) or with the help of an distributor (Regular) and this affects the cost and returns.
