Equities are always a favourite investment option provided your investment objective is to be met in the long-term. You can invest in equities directly or through mutual funds. However, the latter option may appeal the most as it keeps the money in different securities to minimize the market risk that otherwise would lead to the loss of wealth. Mutual funds are broadly classified into equity, debt and hybrid funds. While equity funds invest primarily in equity and equity products to raise the wealth, the debt counterparts look to ensure stability in income by investing in bonds, gilts and money market instruments. Hybrid funds balance the portfolio by shuffling the investments between equity and debt instruments based on the prevailing market conditions. But if you are young, say a 30-year old guy with a whole lot of responsibilities, like the education and marriage of your child, to shoulder out in the future, then you have to bet on equity funds that would have shown good returns over the years along with impressive asset under management (AUM) volume. And within these funds, there is none better than large cap funds that invest in bluechip companies with strong fundamentals. Small and mid cap funds do provide substantially higher returns in the short-term, but can come a cropper in the long run due to weak fundamentals and hence cut down your wealth. So, put your money on large cap funds that have performed excellently in a period of say 5-10 years, a time-frame which you should look upon to rate a mutual fund scheme.
