Large-cap
The 100 largest companies on Indian exchanges by market capitalisation.
Large-caps are the household names: Reliance, TCS, HDFC Bank, Infosys, ICICI Bank. They are well-researched, more stable in downturns, and where most institutional money sits. Large-cap funds (and Nifty 50 index funds) are the typical core of an Indian equity portfolio. Returns are lower than mid- and small-cap on long horizons but with materially less drawdown.
