HDFC Mutual Fund · Direct Growth · SEBI Category: Large Cap
HDFC Large Cap Fund is managed by HDFC Mutual Fund — India's largest asset management company by AUM and one of the oldest, with a history stretching back to 1999. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in large cap stocks as defined by SEBI — the top 100 companies by market capitalisation. HDFC MF's scale and research infrastructure give this fund access to deep equity analysis across all major sectors of the Indian economy.
The fund follows a blend of growth and value investing — it does not rigidly follow one style, allowing the manager to pick the best large cap opportunities regardless of valuation approach. The portfolio is typically diversified across 40-60 large cap names with meaningful weights in banking and financial services, technology, consumer and energy sectors — reflecting India's large cap universe composition.
Rahul Baijal manages the HDFC Large Cap Fund and brings extensive experience in equity research and portfolio management at HDFC Asset Management Company — one of India's largest and most established fund houses with over 25 years of presence in the Indian mutual fund industry.
