Investing in equity mutual funds is a difficult task. Choosing a scheme that has the proper mix of stocks, a strong fund manager, and a solid track record can be a tricky task. The market capitalization or value of the firm is an important parameter to consider while selecting an equity portfolio. After all, the market capitalization of the company defines the risks and rewards of investing in it.

Large-cap mutual funds, mid-cap mutual funds, small-cap mutual funds, multi-cap mutual funds, and other market capitalization categories are used to categorize equity mutual fund schemes. Before you begin investing, it is critical to thoroughly understand these concepts first. Here, we’ll look into Large Cap Mutual Funds and highlight some vital qualities to be aware of. 

What is a Large Cap Mutual Fund? 

It invests a larger share of its total assets in companies with a high market capitalization. These businesses are well-known and have a proven track record of providing long-term prosperity to their investors. As a result, large-cap funds are known for generating consistent dividends and wealth accumulation.  

Furthermore, as compared to small-cap or mid-cap schemes, these schemes have a lower risk and are proven to deliver more consistent returns. They’re a fantastic choice for investors with low-risk tolerance and a long-term investing horizon.

According to SEBI, these funds, are among the top 100 companies in terms of market capitalization. As a result, investing in these companies is thought to be less risky and more stable. 

Investing in large-cap equity mutual funds: 

These plans aim to provide consistent dividends as well as long-term financial appreciation. These funds are the ideal alternative available to you if you are a risk-averse investor who wants to gain from equities investments. These funds can endure market downturns because they invest in financially stable and profitable large-cap corporations. In comparison to mid-cap or small-cap funds, however, the returns are lower. Large-cap funds often provide good capital appreciation over the long term (five to seven years). 

Key Features:

Here are some points to consider before investing in large-cap funds. 

1. Large-Cap Funds’ Risk and Return: 

Market conditions have an impact on all equity mutual funds. When the scheme’s benchmark changes, the Net Asset Value (NAV) changes as well. Unlike small and mid-cap funds, however, the NAV of a large-cap fund does not change significantly. As a result, investing in large-cap plans ensures that your investment portfolio remains stable. However, the returns from these funds are typically lower than those from mid-cap or small-cap funds. Remember that if you want consistent returns with less risk, you should invest in large-cap funds. 

2. Understanding the scheme’s Expense Ratio: 

The fee imposed by fund houses for overseeing your investment is known as the expense ratio. It is the proportion of the fund’s total assets that are used for administrative and other fund administration purposes. Fund houses cannot charge an expense ratio of more than 2.50 percent, according to the new rules of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). However, because most large-cap funds produce lower returns than mid-cap or small-cap funds, you should seek out a fund with a lower expense ratio to assist you to optimize your gains. 

3. It isn’t for Short-Term investors: 

When the stock market goes down, large-cap funds witness their portfolios struggle as well. However, because the money is invested in financially secure businesses, the underperformance is averaged out over time. The widespread belief is that if you invest for more than seven years, you may expect returns of roughly ten percent to twelve percent. As a result, individuals with a long-term investing goal are typically advised to invest in large-cap mutual funds. 

4. Understand your financial objectives: 

Large-cap mutual funds have a low-risk profile and provide consistent returns. As a result, when it comes to retirement planning, many investors opt for these plans. Large-cap mutual funds are also preferred by investors who want to acquire exposure to the equity markets without taking too many risks. Before you invest, think about your financial objectives. 

What about the tax obligations? 

Large-cap mutual funds are subject to capital gains and dividend distribution taxes since they are equity funds.  

Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT): 

When a fund house pays dividends, it should subtract 10% DDT at the sources before proceeding with the payment. 

Capital Gains Tax: 

The units of a large-cap fund can be redeemed for taxable capital gains. The tax rate is determined by the holding period, which is the period during which you held the fund. 

  • Taxed at 15%, short-term capital gains (STCG) are capital gains generated over a holding period of up to one year. 
  • Gains on investments held for more than one year are known as Long 
  • Term Capital Gain (LTCG). LTCG up to Rs. 1 lakh is exempt from tax. If your LTCG is higher than this amount, you will be taxed at a rate of 10%.
