5 Top Large-cap Mutual Funds: Even as the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) wrote mutual fund houses about Sebi's concerns for "froth building up in small and midcap segments" amid continuing flows in mid- and small-cap funds, large-cap mutual funds are performing well. Large-cap mutual funds invest their money in large-cap companies, and are less vulnerable to market fluctuations than small- and mid-cap mutual funds. The large-cap mutual fund category's returns in the last year have been 38.99 per cent, compared to mid caps' 50.76 per cent and small caps' 54.62 per cent (As per Amfi data).
