Frequently Asked Questions
Are equity funds risky?
Yes, equity mutual funds do involve market risk because their returns depend on stock price changes. However, what seems risky for one person may not be for another. So the question is: Are equity mutual funds risky for you? To understand your overall financial personality, check our MoneySign®.

What is the minimum amount I need to start investing in an equity mutual fund?
You can start investing in equity mutual funds with as little as ₹500 a month through SIPs or ₹1,000 as a one-time payment. The amount you decide to invest should align with your budget and financial goals.
How long should I stay invested in equity mutual funds?
Equity mutual funds are well-suited for your long-term goals. It is best to keep your mutual fund investment for at least 7 to 10 years. The longer you invest, the more you can benefit from rupee-cost averaging and compounding, which helps grow your wealth. When opting for equity mutual funds, be sure to consider your investment horizon, though this should not be the only factor.
How many equity funds should I hold?
Most investors should consider holding no more than 2 to 3 well-diversified equity funds. Having too many funds can lead to overlap (owning the same stocks under different names). Therefore, focus on choosing high-quality, consistent funds rather than trying to hold too many. If you have too many mutual funds, check the Mutual Fund Overlap Calculator to identify overlap in your portfolio.
How much of your portfolio should be in equity funds?
Your ideal investment mix depends on several personal factors, including your age, profession, financial responsibilities, demographic profile, emergency fund levels, and overall financial personality. Avoid oversimplified formulas like the 50/30/20 rule or "100 minus your age" for determining equity allocation. These rules are outdated and overly generic. A personalised financial plan is far more effective because it aligns your portfolio with your real-life circumstances, helping you manage risk better and achieve more meaningful long-term results.
What is the difference between direct and regular plans?
Direct plans are purchased directly from the Asset Management Company (AMC) without distributor commissions, resulting in lower expense ratios and potentially higher long-term returns. In contrast, regular plans are sold through intermediaries and include commission costs within the expense ratio.
Can I switch from a regular plan to a direct plan for equity mutual funds?
Yes, you can. You are allowed to switch from one plan to another; however, this is treated as a redemption and reinvestment, which can trigger capital gains tax and may have exit load implications. Ensure you review your holding period and tax efficiency before making the switch, or consult your financial advisor.
How do I choose between large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap funds?
Investors should allow the fund manager to determine the appropriate mix of large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap exposure, rather than attempting to manage it themselves. This is why investing in a flexi cap fund is often a better choice; it provides the fund manager with the flexibility to adjust allocations based on market conditions, making it more suitable than holding separate mid-cap, small-cap, or sector-specific funds.
