What are mid cap stocks?

Mid Cap stocks are medium sized companies that are neither too large nor small. These are companies that have been in business for long enough, hence they are more reliable than small or micro caps. The Mid Cap space is where you could find a potential ‘multibagger’ that could generate huge wealth if found early.

Are Mid Cap stocks risky?

Investing in any stock, irrespective of their market cap, carries risk. Mid caps are riskier than large caps or blue chip stocks – but are not as high-risk as small listed companies. The risk chance of financial fraud is less as compared to lesser known companies. Investing in mid caps requires the ability to research, read annual reports and understand the business that you are investing in. If you are new to the market, avoid mid caps until you gain some experience.
