HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM OTHER EQUITY FUNDS? Equity Funds, by default invest in Stocks. However, there are different types of Stocks. Usually, a particular Equity Scheme invests only in one type of Stocks. In the case of Large-Cap Schemes, the Fund only invests in the Stocks of companies that are worth over ` 10,000 crore. WHY ARE LARGE-CAP FUNDS A MUST-HAVE? As an investor, especially a new one, you are always looking to minimise risks. Entering the Equity market may be worrisome.

WHY DO LARGE-CAP FUNDS HAVE LOWER RISK? Large companies are usually stable. They do not see bouts of volatile earnings. They are often well-shielded from economic problems. If not, they have the capacity to withstand Stocks. And Stock prices usually mimic the company’s profitability. So, such Stocks are less volatile than Stocks of smaller companies. As a result, they tend to give stable returns with lower risks. WHO SHOULD INVEST IN LARGE-CAP FUNDS? Investors who can afford to take on some risk can invest in Equity. And every Equity-friendly investor can, and should, invest in Large-Cap Funds.
