Best Large Cap Fund Mutual Funds

Large Cap funds invest at least 80% of their assets in the top 100 companies by market capitalisation. They are typically the least volatile equity category and are often used as the core equity holding in a portfolio.

We currently track 48 direct-plan Large Cap Fund schemes from 35 fund houses with a median 5-year CAGR of 7.5%. Every figure below is calculated from official daily NAV history and refreshed each day. Use the column headers to re-rank the table by any period — the best 1-year performer is often not the best over 5 or 10 years, which is exactly why we default to the longer horizon.

Large Cap Fund funds — frequently asked questions

Which Large Cap Fund fund has the highest 5-year CAGR?

Nippon India Large Cap Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option currently leads the Large Cap Fund category with a 5-year CAGR of 11.2%. Past returns describe what already happened and do not predict future performance — treat the ranking as a starting point for research, not a recommendation.

What is a good 5-year return for a Large Cap Fund fund?

Across the 48 Large Cap Fund schemes we track, the median 5-year CAGR is 7.5%. Comparing a fund against that median, rather than against the category's single best performer, is a more realistic benchmark.

How is CAGR calculated on this page?

CAGR is the compound annual growth rate between the NAV on the horizon start date and the latest NAV, using growth-plan NAVs published by the AMCs. Where a scheme's NAV history has a gap or a re-denomination, we adjust for it rather than report a distorted figure. Expense ratios are already reflected in NAV; exit loads and taxes are not.

Why does this list only show direct plans?

Direct plans have no distributor commission, so their expense ratio is lower and their NAV growth is higher than the regular plan of the same scheme. Showing both would list every fund twice, so we rank direct plans only.
