Companies listed on the stock exchange come in all sizes and categories.
There are
- large companies also called large caps, due to their huge market capitalization or market caps
- mid-sized companies or mid capswith medium capitalizations
- smaller companies or small caps with smaller market capitalizations
How Does a Diversified Equity Fund Work?

- Power / Utilities
- Banking and Financial Services
- Oil and Gas
Put simply, a diversified equity fund invests in companies across sectors, industries and market capitalizations.

The investment guidelines vary across ULIPs / mutual funds and investors are informed of this through product literature / company websites.
Who Is It Ideal For?
