HDFC Large & Mid Cap Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> has a NAV of \u20b9374.057 as of 27 August 2026 and manages \u20b930,098 Cr. Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 5.86%, 15.21% and 16.44%, and it carries a High Risk tag. Our view is that the fund has rewarded patient investors over longer periods, but the recent return pattern is softer than its 3-year and 5-year pace, so it fits investors who can stay invested through uneven stretches in large- and mid-cap equities.<\/p>\n

The scheme sits in equity, runs as a direct growth plan, and has a broad market-cap mix with meaningful large-cap and mid-cap exposure alongside a smaller small-cap sleeve. That blend can make it more balanced than a pure mid-cap fund, but it still needs a high risk tolerance because the portfolio is equity-heavy and the short-term return trend has been choppy.<\/p>\n
