The four NFOs by Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund opened for subscription on 29th October and closes on 6th November.

According to a research by MOAMC, in the last 5 years, Midcaps and Smallcaps have grown at a faster rate as compared to Largecaps.

During the same period the market cap of Mid and Small cap companies has grown by 25.7% and 28.0% while large-cap companies have grown by 19.1%.

These index funds cater to risk-taking investors aiming for higher returns by tapping into the growth potential of mid and small-cap sectors. Though more volatile than large-caps, they offer substantial upside for those prepared to handle market fluctuations.
