About Large Cap Funds
Large Cap Funds invest at least 80% in large-cap companies, the 100 biggest listed companies in India by market value. They are usually the steadiest part of equity investing, though they can still fall sharply in a market decline.
Generally used by investors starting with equity or wanting a core holding, with a horizon of 5+ years.
