Edelweiss Large and Mid Cap Fund
Direct · GrowthAI Summary
Edelweiss Large and Mid Cap Fund has delivered strong long-term SIP XIRR of 17.60% over 10 years and 17.20% over 7 years, outperforming the category average of 16.75% and 16.65% respectively. Against the NIFTY 50, the fund has generated consistent alpha of 5.04% to 11.32% across all periods, with a 10Y lump-sum CAGR of 15.81% versus the benchmark's 10.79%. However, its 3Y and 5Y SIP XIRR of 16.73% and 16.92% slightly trail category averages of 17.73% and 17.26%, suggesting recent relative softness.
The fund shows a beta below 1.0 in longer periods (0.91 over 10Y and 12Y) with downside capture of 87.28% over 10 years, indicating it has historically fallen less than the benchmark during declines. Upside capture of 93.76% over 10 years shows it gives up some upside, but the combination of lower downside capture and positive alpha has produced favorable risk-adjusted outcomes, reflected in Calmar ratios around 0.46 to 0.49 across horizons. The fund has experienced 8 drawdown events exceeding 10%, which is typical for a large and mid cap mandate and underscores meaningful interim volatility.
Portfolio holdings and sector allocation data were not provided, so specific concentration and diversification details cannot be assessed. As a large and mid cap fund, it is mandated to hold a mix of large cap and mid cap stocks, which typically introduces more volatility than pure large cap funds. Investors should review the current fund factsheet for top holdings and sector exposure before investing.
The fund beats the category average SIP XIRR over 1Y (19.50% vs 16.54%), 7Y (17.20% vs 16.65%), 10Y (17.60% vs 16.75%), and 12Y (17.11% vs 16.49%), but lags over 3Y (16.73% vs 17.73%) and 5Y (16.92% vs 17.26%). This pattern indicates strong long-term consistency with a weaker recent stretch. Calendar year returns show occasional strong outperformance years such as 47.0% in 2014 and 38.49% in 2017, alongside modest years like 2.15% in 2022 and 5.32% in 2025.
This fund suits investors with a high risk tolerance seeking a blend of large cap stability and mid cap growth, ideally with a minimum horizon of 5 to 7 years to allow the fund's long-term consistency to play out. Its history of 8 drawdowns exceeding 10% means investors must be able to tolerate meaningful interim declines. It works well as a core equity holding within a diversified portfolio, particularly via SIP given the strong long-term SIP XIRR track record.
