Growth funds focus on realizing an appreciable amount of capital growth by investing in stocks of firms whose value is projected to rise over the long term. However, a relatively higher tolerance to risk and the willingness to park funds for the longer term are necessary when investing in these securities. This is because they may experience relatively more price fluctuations than other fund classes. Meanwhile, large-cap funds are an ideal investment option for investors looking for high return potential that comes with lower risk than small-cap and mid-cap funds. These funds have exposure to large-cap stocks, providing long-term performance history and assuring more stability than what mid caps or small caps offer.
