Definition of 'Large Cap Funds'. Definition: There are a plethora of mutual funds available in the market. Funds which invest a larger proportion of their corpus in companies with large market capitalization are called large cap funds. Description: The criteria for large cap companies may vary.
DEFINITION of 'Small Cap' Small cap is a term used to classify companies with a relatively small market capitalization. A company's market capitalization is the market value of its outstanding shares. The definition of small cap can vary among brokerages, but it is generally a company with a market capitalization of between $300 million and $2 billion. BREAKING DOWN 'Small Cap' One of the biggest advantages of investing in small-cap stocks is the opportunity to beat institutional investors. Because mutual funds have restrictions that limit them from buying large portions of any one issuer's outstanding shares, some mutual funds would not be able to give the small cap a meaningful position in the fund.
