Midcap companies have the potential of generating faster earnings growth than large cap companies. These companies usually belong to high growth sectors or have a niche market segment. Midcap companies are also better positioned to derive greater benefit during economic revivals. However, these companies are relatively under-researched with significant gaps between their intrinsic values and market price. Fund managers accurately identifying these gaps can exploit them to generate higher returns than the broader market over a period of time.

Risks of Investing in Midcap Funds
Being emerging companies, midcap companies carry higher risk than their large cap counterparts. Midcap companies also have lower capacity to deal with changing business cycles and more prone to price volatility. Hence, midcap funds too are relatively more volatile in the short-term. However, they usually beat large cap funds in the long term.
