About DSP Midcap Fund

DSP Midcap Fund is a mid cap fund managed by DSP Mutual Fund. Invest at least 65% in mid-sized companies (ranked 101–250 by market value). Higher growth potential than large caps, with bigger swings.

The primary investment objective is to seek to generate long term capital appreciation from a portfolio that is substantially constituted of equity and equity related securities of midcap companies/entities. From time to time, the fund manager will also seek participation in other equity and equity related securities to achieve optimal portfolio construction.

The scheme's stated objective, as published by DSP Mutual Fund.

The NAV (net asset value) is the price of one unit of the fund. It is published by the fund house every business day and changes with the value of the fund's holdings. The Growth option reinvests all gains, so its NAV reflects the fund's total return.

Tax on your gains

Gains are taxed as equity: sell within 12 months and the gain is short-term, taxed at 20%. Hold longer and it is long-term, taxed at 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh in a financial year, across all your equity investments.
