KNOW MORE

SBI Large & Midcap Fund is a hybrid equity fund managed by SBI Mutual Fund that combines the stability of large-cap companies with the growth potential of mid-cap companies. This makes it an attractive choice for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation, balancing risk and reward by leveraging both segments of the market.

What is a Large & Mid Cap Fund?

A Large & Mid Cap Fund is a SEBI-defined equity mutual fund category that must mandatorily invest in:

  • At least 35% in large-cap companies
  • At least 35% in mid-cap companies
  • Remaining allocation (up to 30%) can be in small caps, debt, money market instruments, REITs/InvITs, etc.

As per SEBI’s market-cap classification, large caps represent the top 100 companies in India by full market capitalization, while mid caps represent 101 to 250. AMFI updates this list every six months, and the fund is required to rebalance within one month of the update.
