Large-cap funds and mid-cap funds are typically known to be a must in every investor’s mutual fund portfolio. Large cap companies have strong corporate practices that make them safe and transparent as well as, more often than not, provide good growth. Mid cap companies have the potential to give outsized returns compared to large cap stocks. Such companies generally have more focused business models and do not diversify as large cap companies. Further, their market capitalisation keeps on increasing as more investors spot the opportunity which makes it even more valuable stock.
Now there are hundreds of mutual funds in these categories which makes it more confusing to choose from. So here are the best five funds in both categories with top ranking and consistent returns over five years.
Top 5 large cap funds | 5 year return |
Canara Robeco Bluechip Equity Fund | 17.98% |
Axis Bluechip Fund | 18.27% |
BNP Paribhas Large Cap Fund | 14.67% |
Kotak Bluechip Fund | 15.26% |
Mirae Asset Large Cap Fund | 16.92% |
Further, mid cap companies are typically the ones with ₹5,000 to 10,000 crore market valuation. Moreover midcap stocks have been outperforming large cap companies for some time.
These could be some of the fastest-growing companies in India and are, at one stage, likely to become large cap companies.

The sooner you get in these stocks, the more your investments can grow.
Hence, some investment in their growth cycles is a must in every investor’s portfolio.
However, not every midcap stock will be a success story. And, one may not have a information, or the analysis needed, to identify the real wealth creators.
So, it may be wise to invest in mutual funds where a manager is appointed to pick out the gems from the pile of stones.
