A Large-cap investment is considered to be relatively safer compared to a mid-cap and small-cap investment. This makes it suitable for investors with a lower risk appetite. The segment tends to be resilient when market conditions turn adverse. Therefore, investing in large-caps offers you steady returns over the long term.
If you prefer the stable growth of large-caps, but are willing to take slightly higher risks to boost your returns, the large & mid-cap funds category can be a good option. This category gives you the opportunity to invest in an optimum mix of the leaders of today and future leaders. Thus, you benefit from the stability of large-caps as well as high growth potential of mid-caps through a single fund.
When you invest in a large & mid-cap fund, you have two options: 1) A fund whose portfolio is skewed towards large-caps; and 2) Those skewed towards mid-caps. It is crucial to choose a suitable and worthy scheme as per your risk appetite.
Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund (MAEBF) is a popular scheme in the large & mid-cap fund. It has rewarded its investors with superior gains.
