Edelweiss Flexi Cap Fund remains underrated despite strong long-term performance, says Radhika Gupta

Radhika Gupta, Managing Director and CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, says that Edelweiss Flexi Cap Fund remains one of the most underrated offerings in the market despite its strong long-term performance, as investor focus continues to be skewed towards one-year returns.

“Another underrated fund with huge long term consistency is our Flexicap fund. Gets less attention because of the focus on 1Y performance, but it's 3-5-10Y track record speaks,” Gupta posted on social media platform X.
