What are Mid-Cap Mutual Funds?

Mid-cap mutual funds are equity schemes that invest at least 65% of the fund's total assets in stocks and other equity instruments of mid-cap companies, i.e., companies that rank 101 to 250 by market capitalization. These funds carry lower risk than small-cap mutual funds, while offering better growth potential than large-cap mutual funds. They are therefore suitable for long-term investors with a moderate level of risk appetite.

How Do Mid-Cap Mutual Funds Work?

When you invest in a mid-cap mutual fund scheme, your money is added to the pool that your fund manager uses to build a portfolio of mid-size companies. In such mutual fund schemes, a fund manager usually actively decides and distributes the pooled money across various sectors and industries, alter holdings as these companies rise or fall from their initial positions and aims to manage risk while seeking growth. They manage the portfolio and review the companies regularly.

Mid-Cap Mutual Fund Taxation

Mid-cap mutual funds are taxed like any other equity mutual fund. Capital gains, i.e., profits made after selling these funds partially or fully, are taxed as below:

  • Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG): Redeeming units before completing 12 months, qualifies as a short-term capital gain and is taxed at 20%. 
  • Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG): Redeeming units after 12 months, qualifies as a long-term capital gain and you get an annual LTCG exemption of up to Rs 1.25 lakh on it.
