Large- and mid-cap mutual funds are equity funds that invest in a mix of large- and mid-cap companies. According to SEBI guidelines, these funds are required to invest at least 35% of their total assets each in large-cap and mid-cap stocks.
Large-cap companies are typically the top 100 companies as per market capitalisation. These companies are established market leaders with strong fundamentals and financials, and a solid track record. These companies are known for their stability and reliability.
Mid-cap companies are in their growth phase and have a lower market capitalisation than large-cap companies. These companies have the potential to grow rapidly and deliver higher returns. However, they are also highly volatile.

As an investor, it is essential to know whether a mutual fund is suitable for you before investing your money.
Before investing, it is crucial to assess your risk tolerance. Although large-cap companies offer stability, mid-cap companies can be highly volatile. The performance of a large and mid-cap fund can fluctuate in the short term and requires a higher risk tolerance.
As with any investment, it is essential to know your goals to choose the correct option. Your investment horizon and approach to investment also significantly influence your decision-making process.
Large- and mid-cap funds are required to invest 35% in each market cap segment. However, some funds may allocate more to mid-caps, while others may take a conservative approach and allocate more to large caps. As an investor, it is important to know the fund’s strategy and asset allocation.
Compare the fund’s performance with its peers and the benchmark index. It is also essential to study how the fund performed in the past.
Expense ratios, exit loads, and other fees can affect overall returns. It is advisable to compare these costs across different funds before making an investment decision.
One of the key advantages of large and mid-cap mutual funds is the balance they offer. Large-cap stocks offer stability and consistent performance, while mid-cap stocks offer higher growth potential. This reduces the risk of just investing in mid-caps and offers higher growth than a large-cap fund.
A large- and mid-cap fund helps diversify across market caps, sectors, and industries. Instead of investing in just one market cap, having large and mid-cap companies in the portfolio prevents over-concentration and spreads the risk.
Large caps ensure steady growth, while mid-caps can deliver strong capital appreciation over the years. The combination of both makes these funds an ideal option for long-term wealth generation.
While large and mid-cap mutual funds offer many benefits, they also carry certain risks that investors must be aware of.
Equity mutual funds are subject to market fluctuations. Although large-cap stocks tend to be stable, mid-cap companies are highly volatile and more sensitive to market downturns.
Mid-cap stocks are generally less liquid than large-cap stocks, which can pose challenges for fund managers when adjusting portfolios during volatile market conditions.
The performance of large and mid-cap funds is significantly influenced by the fund manager’s decisions on stock selection and asset allocation. Improper stock selection or the fund manager's personal biases can impact returns.
Economic slowdowns, policy changes, or sector-specific disruptions can affect company performance and, consequently, the returns from large and mid-cap mutual funds.
Large and mid-cap mutual funds are classified as equity mutual funds, and the taxation rules applicable to equity funds apply to them as well.
Dividends received from these funds are added to the investor’s income and taxed as per the applicable income tax slab.
