    The most favourite small-cap stocks held by multi-cap MFs

    Multi-cap funds are bound by SEBI regulations to diversify across large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap stocks. Due to their illiquid nature, multi-cap funds have a large holding of small-cap stocks

    In 2020, the market watch dog SEBI introduced the new ‘multi-cap’ category to distinguish them from the earlier avatar of flexicap category. Multi-cap funds are now mandated to invest at least 25 percent of their assets each in large, mid and small-cap stocks. Currently, 17 schemes are part of the multi-cap category; of which 10 were converted from the earlier avatar that had no rigid market capitalisation based investment mandate while the remaining are the newly launched schemes. Collectively, multi-cap funds manage assets under management (AUM) worth Rs 65,286 crore. Post the SEBI’s diktat, their number of equity stocks in their portfolio went up especially in their smallcap holdings. Due to larger asset base and tight liquidity condition in the smallcap universe, many multi-cap funds have not invested more than 1 percent in each such stock. On an average, multi-cap fund hold 26 small-cap stocks. Data as of October 2022. Source: ACEMF
