Mid Cap

A company ranked between large and small by market capitalisation — in India, companies ranked 101st to 250th by market cap. Mid caps often grow faster than large caps but carry greater price volatility.

Example

A mid-cap fund may outperform sharply in a rising market and fall further than a large-cap fund in a downturn.
