4 Best SIPs To Invest, In Large & Mid Cap Funds, Given Upto 75% Returns In 5 Years

Why should you invest in Large and mid-cap funds?

Market capitalization will be calculated by multiplying the stock price by the number of outstanding shares of the particular company. Investors who are starting in the SIPs and mutual funds field can look out for the market capitalization of the stocks, the SIPs are investing in.

Mutual fund SIPs primarily invest in the top 100 companies of India, and those are the biggest brands in our country. These brands are bluechip equities and have performed extraordinarily in the past years. Additionally, with the large-cap funds, you, as a new investor will get a better assurance of security about the fund. These equities have been present in the market for years, and are not expected to withdraw from the market easily. These stocks, however, generally give lesser returns than small or developing companies.

Here comes the importance of mid-cap funds. Rather than large-cap funds, the mid-cap funds generally perform better in the stock markets, because they have more potential for growth. These funds too offer a good security quotient. The Large & Mid Cap Funds will pick the stocks from the largest 250 stocks listed in the Indian markets, those that have the highest market capitalization. So, if a mutual fund SIP is investing both in large-cap and mid-cap funds, that means you, as an investor can be assured about both good returns and security.
