Large and Mid-Cap Mutual Funds are equity schemes which combine securities across large and Mid-Cap market capitalisation. It offers a wider portfolio diversification so that investment risks are reduced.
Actively managed equity mutual funds
Good combination of mid-cap returns and large cap security
Suitable for investors with a long-term investment horizon
Invest through SIPs or lump sum
Earn tax-free returns up to ₹1 lakh if you stay invested
Market capitalisation means the total value of a company’s shares
The total number of listed shares is considered for calculation
The current market value is taken to calculate the market cap
Formula -
Market capitalisation = total number of outstanding shares X current market value per share
Large and Mid-Cap funds have a high risk profile
They are prone to short-term volatility and negative investment returns
To avoid short-term volatility, a long-term investment horizon is recommended
A long-term horizon also helps earn attractive investment returns as large and Mid-Cap companies grow
You also get a tax benefit on staying invested for a longer tenure
Returns up to ₹1 lakh are tax-free if you stay invested for 12 or more months
Returns exceeding ₹1 lakh are taxed at 10%
For redemption within 12 months, returns are taxed at 15%
Dividends earned, if any, are taxed at your income tax slab rate
Earn dividends on your investment at regular intervals
Accumulate the returns over the investment tenure and get a lump sum amount on redemption
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.
