Investors looking for exposure to both value and growth stocks while seeking returns at a lower level of risk, may consider large-cap blend mutual funds. Large-cap funds offer more stability than mid or small caps and are thus safer.
Generally, companies with a market capitalization of more than $10 billion are considered large caps. However, due to their significant international exposure, large-cap companies run the risk of being hit by global woes.
Blend funds, also called hybrid funds, owe their origin to the graphical representation of their equity-style box. In addition to diversification, blend funds offer a great mix of growth and value investment.
Voya Corporate Leaders Trust Fund seeks long-term capital growth and income through investment in an equal number of shares of common stock of a fixed list of American blue-chip corporations. LEXCX also invests generally in a fixed-list of 25 stocks of American 'blue chip' corporations.

Northern Large Cap Core Fund has three-year annualized returns of 11.8%. NOLCX has an expense ratio of 0.45% compared with the category average of 0.84%.
