About large & mid cap funds in India

Large & mid cap funds in India are equity mutual funds that must hold at least 35% of their assets in large cap companies and at least 35% in mid cap companies. SEBI sets the category, and the fund manager decides how the other 30% is used.

What SEBI requires

SEBI describes the category as an open-ended equity scheme investing in both large cap and mid cap stocks. A fund must keep at least 35% of total assets in equity and equity-related instruments of large cap companies and at least 35% in those of mid cap companies, 70% in all.

Market capitalisation is a company's share price multiplied by all its shares. Companies ranked 1st to 100th by it are large cap and those ranked 101st to 250th are mid cap. The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) publishes the ranked list every six months, using each company's average market capitalisation over the preceding six months, so a company can change band at each update.

The remaining 30%

The two floors leave 30% of assets free. A fund can put it in more large cap or mid cap shares, in small cap shares, or in money market instruments, gold and silver instruments or InvITs (infrastructure trusts), within its scheme document. Two large & mid cap funds can therefore differ widely in their mix of company sizes while meeting the same rule.

Difference from neighbouring categories

A large cap fund must hold at least 80% in the top 100 companies and a mid cap fund at least 65% in companies ranked 101st to 250th. A multi cap fund must hold at least 25% each in large, mid and small cap companies. A large & mid cap fund has no small cap requirement.

Tax on large & mid cap funds

The two floors alone put at least 70% of assets in equity, so these funds are taxed as equity-oriented funds, which need at least 65% in listed Indian equity. For the year to Mar 2027, gains on units sold within 12 months are taxed at 20%. Gains on units held longer are taxed at 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh of long-term gains in the year. Surcharge and cess are extra.
