The document discusses why large cap stocks are preferable for investment in the IDFC Large Cap Fund. It notes that large caps have potential for upside returns with relatively low volatility compared to mid and small caps. Large caps tend to have strong customer bases, high liquidity, good corporate governance and experienced management which allows them to better withstand difficult market conditions. The fund employs a strategy of investing in the right sectors, sector leaders, and opportunistically in mid/small caps. It is currently overweight in healthcare and telecom and underweight in financials, energy and utilities. The document promotes the IDFC Large Cap Fund as benefiting from predominantly investing in leading large cap companies while having an active management approach.
