That depends on your goals, how long you can stay invested and what else you hold, which this page cannot know. What the data shows: its returns against other multi cap funds, how far it has fallen, and what it costs. Its rank changes from year to year, so look at several periods rather than one, and at how a fall like its worst would feel for your money. This is education, not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold.
