Conclusion

Over the last few years, mid and small-cap stocks have seen a strong run, leading many investors towards relatively higher-risk investments.

But we believe that large cap funds can continue to remain the core component of most investors' portfolio because they offer stability, liquidity, diversification, and exposure to some of the market's strongest and most established companies.

Thus, investors in large cap funds benefit from the steady growth of capital over the long run without exposing the portfolio to high risk.

On the other hand, mid and small cap funds are only suitable for investors who can handle sharp market swings.

A disciplined allocation to large cap funds can help investors navigate market cycles while laying a strong foundation for long-term wealth creation.

Investors should avoid making allocation decisions based solely on recent performance and instead build a well-diversified portfolio aligned with their long-term financial goals and risk appetite.
