Large cap are mutual funds that primarily invest in the stocks of large-cap companies, which are companies with a market capitalization typically over Rs. 20,000 crore. These funds aim to provide investors with exposure to the largest and most established companies in the stock market. The stocks held in large cap funds are often known as "blue-chip" stocks, which are well-established companies with a long history of stable Earnings and a strong financial position. These stocks are typically less volatile than stocks of smaller companies, making large cap mutual funds a popular choice for investors seeking a relatively stable and low-risk investment option. Large cap mutual funds may also offer the potential for long-term growth, as the companies they invest in are typically leaders in their industries and have the potential for continued expansion and success.
Choosing the right large-cap mutual fund is never easy. Some funds tend to perform well, while other funds tend to languish. But, there are a few parameters that investors have to look at while choosing the right fund. One needs to look at a number of quantitative as well as qualitative factors before deciding upon a fund.
The mutual fund rating could be a good starting point. This needs to be supplemented with other data such as fund age, assets under management (AUM), past returns, expense ratio, etc. Furthermore, investors are advised to check last three years performance of a fund. A fund should have net assets of over INR 1000 crore and also must have a minimum average allocation of 65 percent to large cap stocks over the past one year.

One must select the fund house on which you have faith to invest your money. Identifying fund houses that have a strong presence in the market and provide a variety of funds that have a long and consistent track record. One should also see how many of the funds are top performers. A fund manager with a good track record is a must. An Asset Management Company with a set institutionalised investment process is also important since this ensures that it's a process that gets you to make money rather than just a fund manager (person - and hence keyman risk).
