3 Mid-Cap Growth to Make Your Portfolio Impressive

Read MoreHide Full Article

Mid-cap growth funds focus on realizing an appreciable amount of capital growth by investing in stocks projected to rally over the long term. However, a relatively higher tolerance to risk and the willingness to park funds for the long term are necessary for investing in these securities. This is because these securities may experience relatively more fluctuation than the other fund classes.

Investors interested in high returns can choose to invest in mid-cap funds with lesser risk than small-cap funds. Mid-cap funds are not susceptible to volatility in the broader markets. This makes these funds ideal bets given the erratic macroeconomic conditions in recent years. Also, when capital appreciation over the long term takes precedence over dividend payouts, growth funds become a natural choice for investors.
