Asset allocation
Under normal circumstances, the asset allocation of the scheme will be as follows:
| Instruments | Indicative allocations(% of total assets) | Risk Profile |
| Equity & Equity related instruments | 65%-100% | Medium to High |
| Debt and money market instruments | 0%-35% | Low to Medium |
Should one invest?
Flexi-cap funds invest a minimum of 65 percent of their assets in equity and equity-related instruments. They are free to take exposure to large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks without any restrictions as they invest across market capitalisation. This underlying nature makes them a decent investment fund, experts say.
According to Archit Gupta, CEO at Clear, these funds have a higher exposure to large-cap companies as they are well-established and offer a higher risk-adjusted return. It gives stability to the portfolio than mid-caps and small-caps, which tend to crash in a declining stock market.
However, in case of NJ Flexi Cap Fund, investors should note that it does carry a "Very High Risk" classification, as indicated in the scheme information document. While the potential for significant returns exists, investors must be prepared to acknowledge the heightened risk associated with this investment, experts say.
