The midcap index has corrected by 18% this year and is close to multiple supports on weekly charts. With the broader nifty index expected to takeoff, a turnaround in midcaps stocks is likely so the current environment provides a good opportunity for long term investors.
I was earlier not a big fan of mutual funds but recent SEBI ruling on schemes classification has changed my view. Funds can now invest only in a predefined list of stocks (large caps - 100 stocks, mid caps - 150 stocks etc). The small cap list is too long for my comfort.
Another factor is lack of ETFs in this segment. ETFs have always been my first choice.
Suggestions:
I/ my family are investing in ICICI and HDFC mutual funds over this coming week.

Suggestions:
- Save brokerage and invest directly with the AMC
- Select growth scheme. Avoid dividend plans as you will lose heavily on the benefits of compounding.
- Lumpsum or SIP can be considered depending on your cash flow.
