FAQs On Large and Mid-Cap Funds

Which type of fund is suitable for you depends on your investment goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. Each type has its benefits.

While large-cap funds help you avoid risk to a larger extent by investing in established company stocks, mid-cap funds carry relatively higher risk with more volatility and higher return potential. If you opt for Large & Mid-Cap Funds, you adopt a middle-ground strategy where you have the low-risk factor of the large-cap component plus the growth potential of the mid-cap component.

Large & Mid-Cap Funds are risky because of the balance between the volatility of mid-cap stocks and the relative stability of large-cap stocks. These funds can be lucrative if you invest wisely based on your investment horizon, risk appetite, and specific financial goals.

The minimum investment limit for Large & Mid-Cap Funds can vary based on the specific fund and the fund house. Generally, you can start a SIP in a large & mid-cap fund for as low as ₹100 and a lumpsum investment for as low as ₹1000.

At any point, investing for any financial goal depends on time horizon and risk tolerance. For education funding, consider the following.

• The ideal investment horizon for Large & Mid-Cap Funds is considered 5+ years. If your course starts in 5 years, consider diversifying your portfolio with other investments.
• If you have a low-risk tolerance, adding bonds should make your portfolio more conservative.
• Get a proper estimate of the amount you need for your education. If it’s time-sensitive, focus on capital preservation more than on aggressive growth.
• Ensure you have a fully safe, highly liquid emergency fund available. Relying completely on investments with the slightest risk would not be a wise option.

No, the allocation of Large & Mid-Cap Funds that go into large-caps and mid-caps is up to the fund manager , subject to a minimum of 35% for each category as per SEBI guidelines. The fund manager is free to pick a variety of funds within the specific category. Hence, the fund's past performance would be a good sign to look out for before investing, although not indicative or reliable.

If you are particular about your allocations, you can choose to invest separately in large-cap and mid-cap funds so that you have the freedom to create your portfolio.
