Category Confusion: Two Funds With Similar Names Have Different Risks in Mutual Funds

KOLKATA, India - Aug. 25, 2026 - PRLog -- Money Assist is a Kolkata-based mutual fund distributor that is raising awareness about Category Confusion. This guide helps you understand how two funds carry different risks. This term explains the growing issues faced by retail investors, such as funds with similar names coming with the same risks. However, in reality, these funds include different strategies, portfolios, and volatility.

Money Assist explains this guide by breaking them down into large-cap, index funds, thematic, sectoral, and flexi-cap. However, these types of terms can mislead first-time investors, but by providing a practical framework to evaluate a fund by its portfolio composition rather than going for the title alone. This also clearly outlines the SEBI guidelines and shows the interpretation gaps existing between the fund houses.

As said by the Founder of Money Assist, "Investors often select a fund due to similar types of names as they appear a safe option to them. However, they don't realize the two funds under the same names can perform differently in a falling market." He further added, "We work towards guiding people with knowledge and not pushing them when it comes to selecting the right mutual fund investment."

As expressed by the senior advisor of Money Assist, "We meet several clients daily, and many of them get surprised by learning about a 'large cap' fund which mainly consists of meaningful mid-cap allocation. So, they need to understand such differences before selecting the best mutual fund investment as their long-term goal."
