A large-cap mutual fund is an actively managed scheme that, under SEBI ’s categorisation circular of 6 October 2017, must invest at least 80 per cent of total assets in the equity of large-cap companies, defined as the top 100 companies by full market capitalisation listed on the National Stock Exchange and BSE per the AMFI semi-annual ranking. An index fund tracking the Nifty 50 , Nifty 100 or Sensex draws from the same universe but replicates the index by rules, holding its constituents in their weights with no stock selection. The active fund charges a higher fee for the chance of beating the index; the index fund charges a fraction of that and accepts the index return minus its cost.

A large-cap mutual fund in India is an open-ended equity scheme that is required, under SEBI ’s October 2017 scheme categorisation circular, to invest a minimum of 80% of its total assets in equity and equity-related instruments of large-cap companies. SEBI defines large-cap companies as the top 100 companies listed on a recognised stock exchange, ranked by full market capitalisation, as published by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) every six months. The category exists to give investors a clearly defined, low-ambiguity route to owning the largest, most liquid, and most widely followed Indian companies through a regulated pooled vehicle.
