Over time, this kind of fund is renowned for providing steady returns that are sustainable. Large Cap equities tend to perform worse than small-cap stocks as economy comes out of a recession, despite fact that they are often very stable, dominate their industry, and can withstand economic downturns better. Large-cap stocks are viewed as less hazardous since they are typically less volatile than mid-cap and small-cap companies.

2. Mid-Cap Equity Funds

These funds invest in mid-size companies' equities, which are still regarded as emerging businesses. Generally speaking, mid-cap stocks are less hazardous than small-cap stocks but riskier than large-cap equities.

4. Multi Cap Equity Funds
