We use the functional renormalization group and the ⋲-expansion concertedly to explore multicritical universality classes for coupled ⨁i O(Ni ) vector-field models in three Euclidean dimensions. Exploiting the complementary
strengths of these two methods we show how to make progress in theories with large numbers of interactions, and a large number of possible symmetry-breaking patterns. For the three- and four-field models we find a new fixed point that arises from the mutual interaction between different field sectors, and we establish the absence of infrared-stable fixedpoint solutions for the regime of small Ni . Moreover, we explore these systems as toy models for theories that are both asymptotically safe and infrared complete. In particular,
we showthat these models exhibit complete renormalization group trajectories that begin and end at nontrivial fixed points.
