What is a Large Cap Fund?


Large Cap Funds, as defined by SEBI, are mutual fund schemes that invest at least 80% of their total assets in the top 100 companies in terms of full market capitalization.


These companies are industry leaders — often part of the NIFTY 100 index — and include well-known names across banking, IT, energy, and manufacturing sectors.

Key benefits of large-cap funds
Backed by established business models and proven track records.
Offer better liquidity and transparency.
Provide relatively lower risk and volatility than mid or small caps.
Suitable for investors who prefer consistent long-term returns over aggressive short-term gains.
