Edelweiss Mid Cap Fund

However, when compared with small cap stocks, they are relatively less risky, although their growth potential is also comparatively lower. The Edelweiss Mid Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth is benchmarked against the Nifty Midcap 150 Total Return Index and is classified as a high-risk mutual fund scheme.

The Edelweiss Mid Cap Fund — Direct Plan Growth has the primary objective of generating long-term capital gains for investors by investing in equity assets of mid cap companies. The fund’s net assets are allocated among companies that have an array of profitable products or services and a good management team leading them.

The Edelweiss Mid Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth could be a good addition to your portfolio if you are willing to invest in a high-risk scheme that has a portfolio of companies with the potential to become industry leaders. The ideal investment horizon for this scheme is between 7 and 10 years, so if you are looking for short-term or medium-term options, this scheme may not be suitable for you. Additionally, it may also be prone to short-term volatility and risks, so you will have to factor that into your investment decision.
