What are large-cap mutual funds?

Large-cap mutual funds are a type of equity mutual fund that primarily invests in the stocks of large-cap companies, which are generally less volatile than smaller companies, making these funds a potentially more stable investment option. In India, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), large-cap companies rank within the top 100 companies in terms of market capitalization. These companies are often industry leaders, known for their stability and strong market presence. Examples include companies like Reliance Industries and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
