For investors aiming to build long-term wealth, mutual funds offer a convenient and effective way to participate in the growth potential of equity markets. By pooling resources and investing across a diversified portfolio of stocks, mutual funds can help mitigate risk while targeting meaningful returns over time. Whether through disciplined monthly SIPs or lump sum investments, staying invested and maintaining a long-term perspective are often key to financial success.
One such example of this principle in action is the ITI Multi-Cap fund, which completed 6 years of performance as of May 2025. Launched in May 2019, the fund has rewarded consistent investors—a monthly SIP of ₹15,000 initiated at inception would now be worth ₹17.24 lakh. The ITI Multi Cap Fund, which follows a balanced allocation across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks, has delivered a CAGR of 16.18% since inception.
Period | ITI Multi Cap Fund | Benchmark | Additional Benchmark |
Last 1 Year | 1.44% | 4.57% | 9.01% |
Last 3 Years | 20.96% | 17.02% | 13.78% |
Last 5 Years | 21.46% | 27.32% | 21.16% |
Since Inception | 16.18% | 19.16% | 15.32% |
Despite a challenging market environment in the past year, where the fund posted a -7.85% return against the benchmark’s -3.49% dip, long-term investors have still seen solid gains. For instance, a SIP of ₹15,000 initiated 12 months ago is currently valued at ₹1.78 lakh.
The ITI Multi Cap Fund is an open-ended equity scheme that maintains a diversified allocation across market capitalisations—50% in large-cap, 25% in mid-cap, and 25% in small-cap stocks—aligned with its benchmark. The fund's primary goal is to generate long-term capital appreciation through a balanced and diversified equity portfolio.
As of April 30, 2025, the fund manages ₹1,164.77 crore in assets under management (AUM). It is categorised as a "Very High Risk" scheme, making it more suitable for investors with a higher risk appetite and a long-term investment horizon.
Investors can choose between Direct and Regular plans under the Growth option. The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Direct-Growth plan stood at ₹25.5717 as of May 15, 2025.
