Amid ongoing volatility in the stock market, concerns around mutual fund investments have grown among investors. Many retail investors have seen their portfolios remain under pressure since last year. Yet, even in this uncertain phase, a section of flexi-cap funds continues to stay in focus.

Flexi-cap mutual funds have gained popularity in recent years because of their flexibility. Unlike other equity funds, they do not have strict limits on investing in large-cap, mid-cap or small-cap stocks. This gives fund managers the freedom to move across market segments based on opportunities and risk conditions.
