Flexi-Cap Funds Show Wide Differences in Large-Cap Allocation
Flexi-cap funds can invest in companies of different sizes.
These sizes are called large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks.
The rules require these funds to keep at least 65% of their money in stocks or similar investments.
However, fund managers can choose how much to place in each company-size group.

Motilal Oswal Flexi Cap Fund had the lowest, at 37.79%.
The average large-cap share for the category was 58.41%.
